Swap a Skim Milk Latte for Matcha Green Tea
Swap a Skim Milk Latte for Matcha Green Tea "A skim milk latte does not have enough calories or fat to satisfy hunger, especially so early in the morning when you need more calories to fuel the day," says registered dietitian Michelle Jaelin, who explains that as a society we have an unfounded -- and unhealthy -- fear of fat. She recommends matcha green tea as an alternative to coffee, because it offers an energy boost without jitteriness. Drink it as a latte (yes, with whole milk) or add it to the following smoothie recipe. "This smoothie gives you a caffeine kick (with the matcha green tea) along with avocado (for heart-healthy monounsaturated fat), Greek yogurt (for protein), spinach (to get your serving of greens and antioxidants) and a banana (for potassium and energy). This high combination of protein, healthy fat and carbohydrates will help to fuel your morning until lunch," she says.
