Why make protein matcha at home?
A protein matcha latte is a practical way to combine a gentle caffeine lift with a protein boost in one drink. Making it at home puts you in control of the ingredients and the sweetness, and it takes only a few minutes once you have the right mix.
Laird Superfood's Original Protein Matcha is an instant iced matcha latte mix that includes 10g of protein, 70mg of caffeine, Lion's Mane Mushroom for mental clarity and focus, plus Coconut Water Powder and Sea Salt for hydration and refreshment. Because it's an instant mix, you don't need a whisk, a shaker bottle, or any special equipment.
Step-by-step: making your protein matcha latte
These steps assume you're using Laird Superfood Original Protein Matcha. The mix is designed to be an instant iced latte, so you can have your drink ready in under a minute.
- Start with cold water: Add the recommended amount of the Original Protein Matcha mix to a glass. Using cold water helps the powder dissolve smoothly and keeps the drink refreshing.
- Stir or shake until smooth: Stir vigorously with a spoon or use a small whisk. If you have a shaker bottle, that works too. The goal is a lump-free, smooth texture before you add ice.
- Add ice and enjoy: Fill the glass with ice cubes. The drink is meant to be served iced, so the cold water and ice keep the matcha bright and refreshing. Sip right away for the best texture.
What to expect from the ingredients
The Original Protein Matcha combines matcha's natural caffeine with protein and functional ingredients. Each serving delivers 10g of protein and 70mg of caffeine, which is roughly the amount in a cup of coffee but from tea. Lion's Mane Mushroom is included for mental clarity and focus, while Coconut Water Powder and Sea Salt add electrolytes for hydration.
The mix uses real ingredients with no added sugar, no gums, no fillers, and no seed oils. That means the sweetness comes from the ingredients themselves, not from artificial additives. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add your own sweetener, but start by tasting the plain mix first.

Customizing your protein matcha
Once you've made the basic iced protein matcha, you can easily customize it. For a creamier texture, add a splash of your favorite milk or a milk alternative. If you want extra sweetness, stir in a little honey or maple syrup. You can also blend it with ice for a frothier, smoothie-like drink.
Because the mix already contains protein and functional mushrooms, you don't need to add anything else to get the benefits. Keep in mind that the caffeine content is 70mg per serving, so you can adjust your portion if you're sensitive to caffeine.
