If you love smooth, creamy shakes and need a little energy boost, this Matcha Protein Shake is about to be your new favorite! It’s packed with protein, naturally sweetened, and has that perfect earthy matcha flavor to keep you feeling fresh and fueled all day.
Whether it’s for breakfast, post-workout, or an afternoon pick-me-up, this shake is quick, delicious, and so easy to make!
Let’s do this!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1 frozen banana (for creaminess!)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup ice cubes (for extra thickness)
Pro Tips
- Use frozen bananas! They make the shake thick and creamy without needing extra ice.
- Blend well. Matcha can clump, so blend for at least 30 seconds to get it super smooth.
- Customize the sweetness. If your protein powder is already sweet, skip the honey!
- Want extra greens? Add a handful of spinach—you won’t even taste it!
- Make it extra thick! Swap the milk for coconut cream for a super rich shake.
