Cheng Can Mix: Matcha Latte ★★★

Great Mixture. Bought Matcha Latte Mix and Soy Milk from Tokyo Central (Japanese grocery store) in Gardena. The Matcha Latte Mix is a special fro Tokyo Central's Fukuoka Fair 1/26-2/22, 2023. Replacing Milk with Soy Milk will make the drink last longer for the day. This is a great affordable comfort drink fix instead of spending $6-7 for a drink outside regularly.

Matcha Latte – Great Comfort Drink

Yama Matcha Latte Mix ($6.99) & Japanese Soy Milk (~$4.29) bought from Tokyo Central Gardena

Ingredients:
3 teaspoons or 10g of Yama Matcha Latte Mix
180mL or 3/4 cup of soy milk (or milk)
Add a splash of water to make it less sweet

Directions:
1. Mix Yama Matcha Latte Mix with Soy Milk.
2. Taste it. If it's too sweet, add a splash of water and mix to make it less sweet.
Can be served cold or heat it up to serve warm.

Notes to self:
• Mixing it hot might eliminate the dark green floating powder better
• One of these days, I will test it using real matcha powder instead of the pre-mix package
• One of these days, I will try to spike this up

Cheng Can Mix: Mango Smoothie ★★★

New Toy, New Hobby: Magic Bullet. I can finally make my own Mango Smoothie without paying a high price. Mango Smoothie is easy to make, and it's retail quality. Recipe below. I think I can replace fresh mango with frozen mango, since I am so used to the Jamba Juice frozen texture. Fresh mango maybe too pulpy for smoothie. Can add alcohol to make it a cocktail drink too.

Making Mango Smoothie from Real Fresh Mango

All Ingredients Ready to Blend

Recipe:
1 cup of diced Mango (can be frozen)
1 cup of Vanilla Yogurt
1 cup of Ice
1 tablespoon of Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
Milk (optional)
Granola for garnish (optional)

Directions: Put a handful of diced mango aside to make the smoothie chunky. Just blend everything else together and pour it with the mango chunks into a cup. Garnish with Granola (or more commonly, garnish with Mint Leaves). Enjoy.
