Iced matcha protein latte
5 min · 33 g protein · 194 cals / serving
Bright green, grassy and creamy: matcha whisked until frothy and poured over cold vanilla protein milk and ice, the café iced matcha latte with a soft sweetness and over 25 g of protein.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp matcha powder
- 1/4 cup hot water (80°C / 175°F) water
- 1 cup skim milk, cold
- 1 scoop whey protein, vanilla
- 1 cup ice cubes water
Steps
- Sift the matcha into a small bowl, add the hot (not boiling) water and whisk briskly in a zigzag with a bamboo whisk or a milk frother until smooth and foamy, about 30 seconds.
- Shake or froth the protein powder into the cold milk until smooth.
- Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in the vanilla protein milk and slowly pour the matcha over the top so it floats in a green layer. Stir before drinking.
Good to know
Why not boiling water?
Boiling water makes matcha bitter. Water around 175°F, a minute or two off the boil, keeps it sweet and grassy.
Which matcha?
A ceremonial or latte-grade matcha whisks smoothest and tastes the least bitter. Cooking-grade works but is sharper.
Strawberry matcha?
Mash a few strawberries into the bottom of the glass before the ice, for the pink-and-green café version.
