Equipment
- Cocktail muddler
- Mason jar with a lid
- Small bowl or matcha bowl
- Bamboo matcha whisk or an electric milk frother
Ingredients
- 3 - 4 strawberries washed with the stems removed
- 6 - 8 ounces oatmilk or the milk of your choice

- 3 tablespoons warm water
- 1 ½ teaspoon matcha powder ceremonial grade
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- Note: My protein powder is already sweetened. If you are using unsweetened protein powder, add as much sweetener as desired.
- Muddle the strawberries in a serving glass. Then top with ice. Set aside.
- In a mason jar add milk and protein powder. Top with a lid then shake until combined. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or matcha bowl whisk together warm water and matcha powder using a bamboo whisk or a milk frother until the matcha is smooth and frothy.
- Pour protein milk over the muddled strawberries and ice then pour over the matcha. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Using a cocktail muddler makes mashing the strawberries so much easier.
- Add the milk to a jar with a lid or a protein shaker bottle to combine the protein powder. I found an electric milk frother didn’t combine the protein powder properly and left it chunky.
- Add more sweetener if you enjoy sweeter drinks. My protein powder was sweetened with stevia and I found it to be sweet enough for me. If you are using unsweetened protein powder add sugar, maple syrup or a drizzle of honey as desired.
- Milk: swap out the oat milk for your favorite dairy or nondairy milk such as almond milk or soy milk.
