Iced Protein Matcha Latte (Strawberry)

This iced protein matcha latte with strawberries is creamy, refreshing, and packed with protein. A sweet, healthy pick-me-up with less caffeine than coffee!

Let’s be honest — the basic iced matcha latte is cute, but she’s not giving main character energy anymore. 

If you want something that looks aesthetic, tastes amazing, and helps hit those protein goals? Meet the Iced Protein Matcha Latte… with a strawberry glow-up.

This beauty starts with fresh strawberries muddled right in the bottom of the glass (because who doesn’t love a little fruity surprise at the end?).

Then we add skim Fairlife milk for that creamy texture and extra protein, a scoop of strawberry protein powder to keep you full, and a splash of sugar-free vanilla syrup for that hint of sweetness. 

Top it with matcha whisked into water for that earthy, antioxidant-packed layer — and boom. You’ve got yourself a refreshing, gram-worthy, high-protein latte that’s perfect for warm weather or your daily content creation caffeine fix.

What I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make, but it looks like something you’d pay $9 for at a fancy café. 

It’s customizable, macro-friendly, and a total vibe. Plus, it’s a fun way to switch things up if you’re over the usual protein coffee or smoothie.

Ready to sip on something that fuels your day and your feed? Let’s make it.

FAQS

HOW MUCH PROTEIN IS IN THIS ICED PROTEIN MATCHA LATTE?

Depending on your protein powder, you’ll get around 20-25 grams of protein per serving — a great way to sneak extra protein into your morning routine.

WHAT TYPE OF MILK WORKS BEST IN THIS EARTHY MATCHA RECIPE?

I love skim Fairlife milk for the extra protein and creamy texture, but you can totally swap in coconut milk, almond milk, or any type of milk you prefer.

IS THIS DRINK HIGH IN ADDED SUGAR?

Nope! Thanks to the sugar-free vanilla syrup and the natural sweetness of strawberries, this recipe stays low in grams of sugar while still delivering a touch of sweetness.

DOES MATCHA HAVE LESS CAFFEINE THAN COFFEE?

Yes! Matcha has less caffeine than a typical coffee but gives a more stable energy boost without the crash, helping to keep blood sugar levels steady.

WHAT’S THE BEST MATCHA TO USE IN THIS STRAWBERRY ICED PROTEIN MATCHA LATTE?

Culinary matcha works great for lattes. Look for a fine powder with a vibrant green color and earthy flavor. The different qualities (culinary vs ceremonial) will slightly change the taste.

HOW DO I WHISK MATCHA PROPERLY?

Use a bamboo whisk or small milk frother. Whisk the matcha with a small amount of warm water until smooth before adding to your latte.
