Start by sifting the matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the matcha powder and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy and well combined.
In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla plant-based protein powder, and the prepared matcha mixture.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste, if desired.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
Pour the blend into a glass and serve immediately. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a pinch of matcha powder on top for garnish.
