Vegan Copycat Starbucks Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino

If you folks could go over and subscribe to my channel, that would be amazing! I’m sort of at a sad number right now and it would mean a lot to me if you folks subscribed. A lot of it will end up complementing the content I already post on here (like a video tutorial of that red velvet cupcake that people either have great success or DISASTROUS success)—and any of the new recipes I post on the channel I’ll be posting concurrently here anyway.

I’ve had a couple readers ask if I’ll continue the blog here. Don’t worry! I definitely will. Writing has always been my go-to medium for sorting out my brain, while photography is my passion, and video is an extension of things I always wanted to do but just never had the guts or knowledge to go and do. Believe it or not, but back in high school I had a vlog channel full of rambles and rants, pretty much video versions of this space here, but less focused, and way more ridiculous because I was 17/18 and only just figuring out who I was. The videos are all private now so you can’t find them, but every few years I remember it exists and watch a couple videos because my baby brother was adorable in them.

It’s not so much drama as it is just managing my time and finances by making adult decisions that I probably should have made sooner than later. Grad school debt is ongoing and just kind of bleeding me dry every month and I’m buying things that I can’t really afford but I bought anyway because I deemed them necessary—like a lens (for my videos), a high speed blender (because my Ninja blender was THE ABSOLUTE WORST), some bookshelves because the ones I bought 8 years ago were teetering under the weight of all of my books and cookbooks.

I’m not living within my means and it’s honestly a stupid thing I’m doing. For a better part of a year I was going to Starbucks about once or twice a week getting a latte which was quickly depleting my bank account. I love espresso and Starbucks, but my wallet was not having it. So I’ve resolved to stop going to Starbucks when I can make my own drinks at home! I don’t have an espresso maker, but honestly, coffee makes me super jittery and I don’t really drink it anyway. The drinks I would buy from Starbucks regularly were the matcha lattes and frappuccinos, and those are so easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
• 1 cup soy milk
