How to make the Viral Strawberry Cloud Matcha Latte: Healthy Benefit & High-Protein

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve likely seen the "Cloud Matcha" trend. As we step into 2026, the focus has shifted from just "pretty drinks" to functional wellness. People want their caffeine fix to work harder for them.

This recipe combines the antioxidant power of our finest quality matcha with a high-protein "cloud" foam and fresh strawberries. It’s the ultimate "habit-stacking" drink for your morning routine.

Why This Recipe is Trending in 2026:

• Antioxidant-Rich: Uses ceremonial matcha for a clean energy boost.

• Protein-Packed: We use a protein-infused cold foam (the "cloud").

• Dairy-Free: Perfectly optimized for Oat or Coconut milk.

Ingredients:

• 2-3gram BYG MATCHA 1,000-mesh matcha powder 

• 2 oz Warm Water (80°C/175°F — never boiling!)

• 3-4 Fresh Strawberries (mashed into a puree)

• 1 cup Oat Milk

• The "Cloud" Topping: 1/4 cup cold soy/oat milk frothed with 1 tsp vanilla protein powder (or agave).

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Base: In your favorite glass, muddle the fresh strawberries until you have a thick, vibrant red puree at the bottom. Fill the glass with ice.

2. Pour the Milk: Slowly pour your oat milk over the strawberries. This creates that beautiful layered aesthetic.

3. Whisk the Matcha: Sift your BYG finest quality 1,000-mesh Matcha into warm water. Use a bamboo whisk or electric frother until a thick, emerald-green crema forms. Pour this gently over the milk.

4. Create the Cloud: Froth your "Cloud Topping" ingredients until they reach a thick, meringue-like consistency. Spoon it over the top of your matcha.

5. The Finish: Dust with a tiny bit of extra matcha powder for the perfect photo-op.
