Put oat milk, date syrup, matcha, and protein powder into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for 20 seconds.
Pour protein shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

The brighter the green of the matcha, the higher the quality. Look to spend $20 - $35 per tin or pouch. If it costs less than $20, it'll most likely be low quality matcha (brown in color) that's not from Japan. Make sure it's not sweetened.
Matcha is delicious with oat milk, but any milk can be used in this recipe. Soy milk and cow's milk or good high-protein choices.
You can use whey, casein, or plant-based protein powder, depending on your preference. An unflavored version will let the matcha flavor shine, but vanilla protein powder also works well in this drink.
If you want a thicker protein shake, add a few ice cubes to the blender. They should be the last ingredient to go in.
Before using protein powder, check the packaging for specific instructions. The serving size for some protein powders might be more than one scoop.
Refrigerate leftover matcha protein shake in an air-tight jar. Enjoy within 1-2 days for the best flavor and texture.
