Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of your favorite milk (nut milk, reduced-fat dairy, or oat milk all work)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup), plus more to taste
1 teaspoon matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade is fine)
A tiny pinch of kosher salt

Special Equipment Needed: A shaker bottle with a blender ball

Directions

Pour the milk, yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, matcha, and salt into the shaker bottle. Secure the lid and shake for around 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth. Taste and, if needed, add extra sweetener.

Plant-Based Twist: Swap in nut or oat milk, coconut yogurt for Greek yogurt, and vanilla pea protein powder. Note: Protein may be slightly less, with higher fat from coconut yogurt. For silkier texture with pea protein, blend in a high-speed blender. Use plant-based sweeteners like agave, maple syrup, or vegan honey for a fully vegan version.
