While there are many latte powder products that are loaded with artificial ingredients and sweeteners, LAKANTO sets itself apart in this regard. While green tea matcha powder is typically vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and sugar-free on its own, LAKANTO takes care to spell out these labels for consumers, many of which are health-conscious and on the lookout for these labels. The product packaging also calls out that the latte powder is prebiotic, probiotic and naturally sweetened with monk fruit.
The matcha latte powder also takes advantage of the rising popularity of functional tea products and promises to aid with detoxification, weight loss, aging, as well as promoting relaxation and boosting concentration.
In its powdered form, the product is noted by LAKANTO as a useful addition to soups, smoothies and a variety of baked goods.
