    Food Advertisements by

    Matcha green tea and Yakult is the perfect duo for boosting your energy, gut health, and your mood.

    Yakult is a sweet-tangy flavored fermented milk drink that originated in Japan. in 1935. It is a powerhouse probiotic drink with incredible health benefits. Drinking probiotics like Yakult, is an easy solution to improving gut health by adding beneficial bacteria to your system. Definately more enjoyable than popping capsules. Each Yakult original (red lid) is just 50kcal with approximately 6.5 billion CFU of Lactobacillus casei Shirota per bottle!

    • Gut Health - Yakult is made with the Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota strain of bacteria which promotes gut health, improves digestion, and reduces bloating.
    • Immunity - The active and live bacteria helps correct imbalances in the digestive system. A healthy gut boosts immunity, as 70% of the immune system is in the digestive tract.
    • Nutrient Absorption - Yakult also enhances nutrient absorption, ensuring your body maximizes food benefits.
    • Mental Health - Regular consumption may lower infection risks, ease constipation, and even support mental health, thanks to the gut-brain connection.

    Matcha green tea also has the following health benefits:

    • Fiber - promotes gut health and healthier skin.
    • Nutrients - includes Vitamin C, chromium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. 
    • Boost Metabolism - and helps burn fat and aid weight loss.
    • Brain Health - Matcha helps promote alertness and brain clarity.
    • Amino Acids - matcha includes many amino acids (such as L-theanine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-lysine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine). It helps reduce stress and increase focus and productivity.

    Combined Benefits (Matcha + Yakult)

    When you combine matcha and Yakult:

    The drink supports both digestive and mental health, making it ideal for busy mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups.

    You get a balance of gut-friendly probiotics and antioxidant-rich energy. Matcha may counteract the sugar spike from Yakult by slowing glucose absorption.

    Ingredients and Substitutes

    There are many ways to enjoy a delicious cup of matcha green tea. Enjoy a complete tea ritual by whisking the ceremonial matcha and water until it forms a smooth, frothy mixture to a High Protein Matcha Latte using a milk frother.

    Now enjoy your favourite vibrant green tea powder with this tangy Japanese probiotic yogurt drink. This Easy Matcha Probiotic Drink takes less than 5 minutes to make!

    Ceremonial Matcha - Look for ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavour and vibrant green colour. This premium Japanese green tea powder is made from the softest and tenderest parts of the leaves. It boasts a stunning, vibrant green colour, a sweeter taste, and an exceptionally smooth texture.

    Yakult - fermented milk drink found at most Asian supermarkets. Alternatively, you can opt for Cool Plus cultured dairy beverage from Costco. 3.25% Kefir drink may also work but I find the texture too be a little too thick.

    Fresh Lemon - fresh lemon juice enhances the umami flavour of the matcha.

    Hot water - Ideally around 175°F (80°C) to avoid burning the matcha.

    Ice Cubes

    Optional Ingredients

    Sweetener: Honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup are great options.

    Equipment

    Making a matcha latte at home is simple and requires just a few key pieces of equipment. Here's a list of what you'll need to create a delicious, creamy matcha latte: What equipment do I need to make matcha?

    Chawan - A Japanese handcrafter matcha pottery bowl makes the experience authentic.

    Matcha Whisk - A Bamboo whisk is a Japanese matcha green tea ceremony tool. This matcha stirrer is made of precisely cut handcrafted about 76 fine tines to whisk, blend, and froth perfectly, which is more convenient for making exquisite and rich matcha foam.

    Matcha Tea Spoon - This stainless steel scoop measures 1 gram of matcha powder for the perfect cup of matcha latte. This traditional Chashaku tea spoon for tea ceremony is excellent if you prefer something more authentic!

    Tea Siev - One of the main reasons for using a fine mesh strainer is to ensure the green tea leaves are separated into fine powder without clumps. This tea sieve sits perfectly on top of your cup or glass while its deep cone-shaped mesh achieves the smoothest texture.

    I love collecting individual matcha tools while on vacation in Japan. It transforms regular matcha tea time into an artful experience. It makes the perfect centrepiece for my matcha setup. Of course, beginners may find purchasing a Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Tea Set more straightforward.

    Most dry goods ingredients, tools, and supplies can be purchased at local Asian markets, Chinese grocery stores, or Amazon Online. Amazon Prime members receive free shipping and faster delivery times.

    Instructions

    Experience sustained alertness with this delicious healthy Japanese matcha drink with cultured milk. This probiotic green tea drink is great for digestion and boosting energy. Enjoy it alone the morning or with breakfast or in the afternoon with biscuits!

    Let's learn how to make match a Yakult at home together!

    Pro Tips for the Perfect Matcha Yakult Recipe

    • Use ceremonial-grade matcha - It’s higher quality and has a smoother, less bitter taste.
    • Don’t skip the matcha whisk - A matcha whisk creates the perfect froth and ensures the powder is fully dissolved.
    • Adjust sweetness -  Start with a little sweetener and add more as needed.

    Step 1: Sift the Matcha Powder

    Sift 1-2 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Sifting is a crucial step for achieving that velvety texture.

    Step 2: Add Hot Water

    Pour 100ml of hot water (about 175°F or 80°C) into the bowl with the matcha powder.  

    175°F (80°C) is the perfect matcha brewing temperature. This temperature is ideal because it allows the matcha powder to dissolve properly without scorching it, which can result in a bitter taste. Boiling water at 212°F or 100°C is too hot and can destroy the delicate flavors and nutrients in matcha, so it’s important to let the water cool slightly before using it.

    Use your matcha whisk to vigorously whisk in a "W" or "M" motion to mix the matcha and water until it forms a smooth, frothy paste. Set aside. 

    Step 3: Add Ice

    Fill the serving glass with ice cubes.

    Step4: Mix with Yakult

    Add two bottles of Yakult to the glass.

    Pour the whisked matcha into a glass filled with ice and Yakult.

    Squeeze a wedge of fresh lemon juice into the glass. Stir to combine.

    Step 5: Customize and Enjoy

    Taste the matcha Yakult drink and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add a drizzle of honey or simple syrup for extra sweetness.

    Give it a final stir, and your Matcha Yakult Drink is ready to enjoy!

    FAQ

    What are the health benefits of matcha and Yakult?”

    Matcha is rich in antioxidants and supports focus, energy, and metabolism. Yakult delivers probiotics that aid digestion and boost gut health.

    Can I make this drink dairy-free?

    Yes! Substitute Yakult with a dairy-free probiotic like coconut kefir or plant-based yogurt drinks. Look for options labeled “vegan probiotic.”

    Is Matcha Yakult safe for kids?

    Yes, in moderation. Yakult is often marketed for kids, and small amounts of matcha are generally safe. Consider using a lower caffeine matcha or decaf green tea for young children.

    Matcha Yakult vs. Starbucks Yakult drinks

    Homemade Matcha Yakult is lighter, uses fewer ingredients, and has less sugar. Starbucks versions may include syrups and cost more, but offer convenience and custom flavors.
