🤔 What is a Mango Matcha Latte?
A mango matcha latte is a layered drink made with mango puree, milk (we love plant-based), and whisked matcha green tea. Usually served iced, but you could also make it hot.
It’s vibrant, naturally sweet, and gives you that gentle caffeine boost without the jitters. Think tropical smoothie meets matcha latte - yes, it’s as good as it sounds.
Whether you call it a mango green tea latte, iced mango matcha, or simply your new favorite drink - this recipe is a go-to for warm weather and matcha lovers alike.
📋 Ingredients
To make this sunny, layered iced drink, you’ll only need a few easy-to-find ingredients:

- Ripe mango (fresh or frozen & thawed): Naturally sweet and tropical.
- Vanilla Syrup: Adds a floral, dessert-like flavor and helps sweeten. Adjust to taste!
For the Latte:
- Milk of choice: Any milk will work beautifully here. Our favorites are oat milk and homemade soy milk!

Optional Add-ins:

3. Optional - Add sweetener: Add sweetener of choice to taste, such as vanilla syrup. Stir together with the mango puree until combined.

✨ Sprinkle’s Expert Tips
- Sift your matcha: This makes a huge difference! No clumps = ultra smooth.
- Use ripe mango: If you are using fresh mango, instead of frozen, make sure it's extra ripe! It will be sweeter and the sweeter the mango, the better the flavor (and less sweetener needed).
- Don’t boil the water: Warm, not boiling water helps preserve matcha’s flavor and nutrients. Since we're serving this iced, we wouldn't go warmer than lukewarm.

This is an interesting combination of two of my favorites. Can't wait to try this and I am thinking of using oat milk for a "lighter" version than cow's milk. The Bubble Tea Version sounds good too!
Yes oat milk is perfect. I make it with my homemade soy milk, it's so light and refreshing. Plus, it pairs so well with both mango and matcha! I think you’d love that one too. And yesss, the bubble tea version is such a fun twist if you're craving a treat!
I tried this with frozen mango, and it blended up super smooth. It's such a cool, creamy drink! The sweetness from the mango pairs well with the matcha, kind of like a tropical spin on an iced latte. I didn’t even need an extra sweetener. I loved how different it was, but it was still super refreshing!
Planning a sunset part for your vegan friend. This is perfect ... looks pretty and tastes delicious.
I love how colorful this is! It made my boys actually want to give it a try. We used almond milk instead of soy since that's what we drink here and it was perfect.
