How do you make a strawberry matcha latte?

Start with the strawberry layer. Blend fresh strawberries and a little sweetener until it’s jammy. Add it to your glass, pour in cold milk, then gently layer whisked matcha on top. Sip as-is or stir it all together for a full flavor bomb.

What’s in a strawberry matcha latte?

You’ll need matcha powder, water, fresh strawberries, your milk of choice, sweetener, and optionally a scoop of protein powder. Toss in some ice, and boom — you're living your best beverage life.

Does strawberry pair well with matcha?

SO well. Strawberries bring the sweet and tangy, matcha brings the earthy and mellow. Together? It’s like the PB&J of fancy drinks. A total flavor win.

Is strawberry matcha good for health?

Yup. Matcha is rich in antioxidants like catechins and L-theanine, which help with focus and calm energy. Strawberries add vitamin C and fiber. Add a little protein and milk, and you’ve got a drink that’s just as nourishing as it is tasty.

Why do people love strawberry matcha lattes?

Because they’re gorgeous, refreshing, and taste like a treat without being heavy. The layers, the colors, the sweet-earthy combo — it’s like a mood in a cup.

Can I use strawberry syrup instead of fresh strawberries?

Totally. It’s not quite as fresh-tasting, but it gets the job done fast. Store-bought or homemade syrup both work in a pinch.

Do strawberry matcha lattes have caffeine?

Yes they do. Matcha has caffeine, but it’s the gentle kind — no jittery crash. Just smooth, steady energy thanks to the L-theanine.

What should I avoid when making matcha?

Avoid boiling water. It makes matcha bitter. Also, don’t skip sifting or you’ll end up with clumps. And always whisk like you mean it — smooth matcha = happy you.

Strawberry Matcha Latte Magic with Creamy Layers and Flavor

Ingredients

Scale

3–4 fresh strawberries, hulled
1 tablespoon sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or simple syrup)
120 ml milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, coconut, etc.)
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 25 grams)
1 teaspoon matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
60 ml hot water (not boiling)
Ice (cubed or crushed)
Optional: sliced strawberries for garnish

Cook Mode Don't let your screen peace out mid-stir.

Instructions

Sift the matcha into a small bowl. Add hot water and whisk vigorously until smooth and frothy. Set aside.
Blend strawberries with the sweetener until jammy and thick. Spoon the mixture into the bottom of a clear glass.
In a shaker or jar, mix the milk with protein powder until completely smooth and creamy. Pour over the strawberry layer with ice.
Whisk the matcha again if needed. Slowly pour it over the milk layer to create a beautiful green float.
Top with sliced strawberries if desired. Sip as-is or stir to combine for a creamy, fruity matcha delight.

Notes

Best served fresh to preserve the layers and froth.

Strawberry base can be made 2 days ahead; matcha and protein milk mix can be stored up to 24 hours in the fridge.

Use monk fruit or stevia for a sugar-free version.

Oat milk is recommended for creaminess; almond or coconut milk work for dairy-free options.

To make it low-calorie, reduce sweetener and use fewer strawberries.

Protein powder turns this latte into a satisfying snack or breakfast-on-the-go.
