Ingredients
- 1 cup of brewed coffee, either hot or cold
- 1 tsp of matcha powder
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup of almond milk without sugar (or any other milk you like)
- 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (optional)
For matcha, use a bamboo whisk or a tiny whisk.
A handheld frother or blender
Spoons for measuring
A tall glass or cup
Preparation Steps
- Get the matcha ready
Mix 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. - Make the milk frothy
If you’re creating a hot latte, gently heat the almond milk. Then, add the protein powder and mix until the milk is creamy and foamy. - Combine everything
Put the brewed coffee, matcha mixture, and frothed milk in your favorite mug. Mix by stirring gently.
If it’s iced, use a straw and drink it directly from the cup or sprinkle some matcha powder on top.
If you’re making iced coffee, brew it ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
Mix matcha with hot water ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to a day.
Tips & Tricks
No clumping! Mix the matcha with a little bit of hot water to keep it smooth.
Use a frother: To make the creamiest latte, froth the milk and protein powder together until they are foamy.
Add sugar to taste. Start with less honey or syrup because some protein powders are already sweet.
Make it hot for cozy mornings or iced for a cool treat.
Make two of these: This dish is so wonderful that you might as well make two!
Substitutions & Alternatives
No almond milk? For a creamier texture, try oat milk, coconut milk, or even plain milk.
You can use chocolate, unflavored, or even plant-based protein powder.
Instead of coffee, use additional milk to make it a Matcha Protein Latte.
If you want to avoid sugar, use stevia or don’t use any sweetener at all.
Storage
You should drink this latte right away, but you can keep any leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a day. Before drinking, shake or whisk well.
