Dunkin' Donuts has recently added matcha lattes to their menu. Although it is sweetened, the health benefits seem too good to be true!
From Coffee to Matcha
"...A new way to...reenergize."-Dunkin'
My order at Dunkin' used to be a small iced caramel swirl with extra cream and extra sugar. I know what you're probably thinking....caramel and extra sugar? What can I say, I am my father's daughter. Overtime, my body developed a strong reaction to caffeine which induced fatigue and stomach pains as well as nausea. I had tried decaf coffee, however, it was not the same. Awakening at 7am to go to work I needed a pick me up.
Matcha Moves by Word of Mouth
My history teacher, a vegetarian, always stays up to date with the knowledge of the latest trends. From fashion and health to Netflix and Tik Tok to politics and world events she knew it all. Since she has been a vegetarian since she was a teenager, she has familiarity with the ins and outs of healthy dieting. One day she came into class raving about Dunkin' matcha lattes. By discussing the health benefits, I decided to try it.
Can I get a heaven in a cup?
From the first sip I swore off coffee forever. My first time I ordered a small iced matcha latte with whole milk. Because I am accustomed to drinking 1% milk, it was a bit too creamy for me. Albeit, it tastes like heaven. Naturally, with skim milk the matcha flavor becomes the forefront. It is very creamy, yet it still maintains a grassy flavor. As being someone who enjoys eating straight up plants, I would say it tastes delicious.
