Strawberry Matcha Protein Drink

Fresh strawberries, earthy matcha and creamy whey protein come together in this refreshing, high-protein take on the viral strawberry matcha drink.

TAHA Natural Whey Protein has a mild, neutral flavor, so it adds a boost of high-quality, grass-fed New Zealand protein without overpowering the strawberry and matcha. The beautiful layers make it look impressive, but it takes only five minutes to prepare.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Yield: 1 serving

INGREDIENTS

• 5 strawberries
• 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon matcha powder
• 2 tablespoons warm water (not boiling)
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 scoop TAHA Natural Whey Protein Concentrate
• Ice

METHOD

1. Add the strawberries and maple syrup to the bottom of a glass. Muddle until the strawberries are crushed and juicy. For a smoother strawberry layer, blend them together instead.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with two tablespoons of warm—not boiling—water until smooth and free from lumps.
   
3. In a protein shaker, combine the TAHA Natural Whey Protein with the cold water and shake until smooth. 
4. Fill the glass with ice.
5. Slowly pour the prepared protein mixture over the ice, then gently pour the matcha on top to create distinct layers.

Tips for the Best Strawberry Matcha

Always use cold water and a protein shaker or whisk when mixing the whey protein for the smoothest result. 

Warm water helps the matcha dissolve, but avoid boiling water, which can make matcha taste bitter.

Pour the matcha slowly over the back of a spoon if you want more defined layers. The drink should be stirred before enjoying so the strawberry, whey protein and matcha flavors combine.

For a sweeter drink, use two teaspoons of maple syrup or adjust the amount to suit the sweetness of your strawberries.

A fresh, colorful protein drink that works equally well as a morning pick-me-up, an afternoon refreshment or part of your post-workout routine.
