Protein Matcha Latte Recipe
This Protein Matcha Latte Recipe combines the powerful benefits of matcha with protein to create a creamy, energizing drink perfect for boosting focus and aiding muscle recovery. It’s quick, easy to make, and a healthier alternative to traditional coffee-based lattes.
Equipment
- Small whisk or matcha whisk
- Milk frother (optional)
- Blender or shaker (for protein)
- Mug or glass
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 scoop protein powder preferably vanilla or unflavored
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or sweetener of choice optional
- Ice cubes optional for an iced version
Instructions
- Prepare the Matcha: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to prevent clumping. Add a small amount of hot water (about 2 tablespoons) and whisk until smooth.
- Heat the Milk: Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave until warm, but not boiling.
- Mix the Protein: In a blender or shaker, combine the protein powder with a small amount of milk. Blend or shake until fully dissolved.
- Combine: Pour the matcha mixture into the protein milk and stir to combine. Add your sweetener if desired.
- Serve: Pour into a mug or glass. For an iced version, add ice cubes before pouring the mixture.
Notes
Substitutions: You can substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Sweetness: Adjust sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or stevia as preferred.
Iced Version: To make it cold, simply add ice or blend with ice for a thicker texture.
Protein: Feel free to use any protein powder you like, but vanilla or unflavored options work best for this recipe.
