🍵 Honey Almond Matcha Latte Recipe
📝 Ingredients (1 Serving)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder (I use Isopure Zero Carb)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional or to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but highly recommended for the flavor boost)
- 1/2 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha, prepared (use hot water and whisk until dissolved)
- Ice
👩🍳 Instructions
- Blend the Protein Base
- In a blender (or shaker cup/frother), combine the almond milk, vanilla protein powder, honey, and almond extract.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Matcha
- In a separate small bowl or matcha whisking bowl, add 1/2 tsp matcha powder and whisk with a few tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water until fully dissolved and frothy.
- Assemble the Latte
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Pour in your protein almond milk base.
- Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the top to create that beautiful layered effect.
- Serve & Enjoy
- Stir if desired, or sip as-is.
💡 Tips & Swaps
- Make it hot: Simply skip the ice and warm your milk before blending for a cozy version.
- Sweetener swaps: Use monk fruit, maple syrup, or skip sweetener altogether depending on your goals.
- Creamier texture: Add a splash of coconut milk or oat milk if you want a richer consistency.
- Matcha tip: For best flavor, always use ceremonial grade matcha and avoid boiling water which can make it bitter.
✅ Why This Works
The combination of vanilla protein, honey, and almond extract creates a sweet, nutty base that pairs beautifully with the earthy matcha. The texture is rich and creamy thanks to the protein powder, and blending ensures a smooth, frothy latte that tastes just as indulgent as anything you’d get at a café—without the added sugar or price tag.
