Iced Matcha Latte with Salted Vanilla Collagen Cold Foam

For the iced drink die-hards: No matter how cold outside, you hold onto your iced drinks, and we respect it! Enjoy this iced matcha latte as bright and green as a Christmas tree!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 scoop of Natural Factors Total Body Collagen, Salted Vanilla Flavour
• 1 tbsp of maple syrup
• 1/2 cup of preferred milk, ex. oat or cashew
• 2 tsp of matcha powder
• Pro tip: Sifting your matcha before use can help reduce clumping and a smoother blend.
• Filtered Water
• Ice

DIRECTIONS:

1. To make your cold foam, in a small pitcher or bowl, combine your milk, maple syrup, and collagen. Use an electric hand blender to fully combine. Beat until the texture is nice and foamy!
2. In a tall glass, add your matcha powder. Add cold water to the glass, about halfway (we want to leave room for ice and the cold foam). Whisk vigorously with a matcha whisk, electric whisk, or good old fork until well combined.
3. Add some ice to your matcha and top with your cold foam. Enjoy!
