This mango matcha latte was introduced in my household one summer day when I fancied something refreshing and a bit indulgent but also nutritionally apt. I had some frozen mango and matcha powder in the cupboard and thought, why not put them together? The result was this vibrant, dairy-free iced latte that’s now one of my favourite drinks. The mango gives it a fruity creaminess while the matcha adds that subtle, earthy depth. It’s naturally sweet, tropical and perfect for an energising breakfast drink, relaxing afternoon or post-lunch treat.
