Morning Matcha-Mango Latte
Every morning is better with a drink in hand to help you start your day on the right foot. Matcha lattes have been a favorite of ours for quite a few years. They’re delightfully cute with their bright green color, and we’ve grown to love the earthy taste as well as the health benefits matcha has to offer. We thought they couldn’t get better until we discovered that matcha pairs incredibly well with one of our other favorite things—mangoes! This mango puree adds such a vibrant flavor and is shockingly photogenic. It adds just the right amount of sweetness, and every morning we’re together, we whip up this latte to enjoy.
