Flavor Profile and Experience

This latte combines sweet tropical mango and earthy matcha, creating a layered beverage with vibrant color and refreshing taste.

Creamy JOI plant-based milk ties the flavors together for a smooth, energizing drink.

How This Drink Comes Together

This latte is a stunning layered beverage that blends fruity with grassy and creamy. When prepared, the mango puree sits at the bottom, JOI milk adds luscious body in the middle, and matcha crowns the drink in a gorgeous green layer. With a quick stir, you’ll watch a beautiful swirl of tropical color mix into a refreshing, energizing drink.

Why Use JOI in This Recipe

Using JOI’s milk concentrate to make your milk ensures you’re getting a clean, nutrient-dense drink without the fillers or gums found in most store-bought plant milks. Because you add water yourself, you control the creaminess and flavor—making it the perfect customizable base for a frothy latte.

• Nutrient-Dense: JOI is packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

• Gut-Friendly: No preservatives or additives that can upset digestion.

• Eco-Friendly: Less packaging waste and a smaller carbon footprint because you add the water.

Customizations and Swaps

• Switch the Fruit: Use whatever fruit base you like - we're thinking pineapple, papaya, raspberries...the possibilities are endless.

• Creamier Texture: Add more JOI to make the milk creamier. You can substitute with JOI milk made from any of our milk concentrates like Original Oat Creamer, Hemp Milk Concentrate, Almond Milk Powder, or Cashew Milk Concentrate for a richer mouthfeel.

• Extra Tropical: Top with shredded coconut or blend in pineapple chunks.

• Boost Protein: Add a scoop of your favorite plant protein powder (we love JOI almond protein powder!) before blending.

Nutritional Benefits of Matcha vs. Coffee

Matcha delivers a smooth, sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with coffee. It’s rich in antioxidants—especially catechins—that help protect cells from damage and support metabolism (Healthline).

Unlike coffee, matcha contains L-theanine, which promotes calm focus while avoiding energy crashes.

Paired with mango’s vitamin C and fiber (Medical News Today), and JOI’s nutrient-packed plant milk, this latte is a powerhouse of antioxidants and plant-based nourishment.

When to Drink a Mango Matcha Latte

This drink is perfect for different times of the day:

• Afternoon Pick-Me-Up: Enjoy during an energy slump for steady focus and calm alertness.

• Pre-Workout Fuel: The natural sugars in mango and the gentle caffeine from matcha provide balanced energy without spikes or crashes. Don't forget to add in that extra scoop of JOI almond protein powder!
