Nutrition For Mental Health
Here at Raepublic, we are all about how food can impact your mood! Matcha tea is rich in antioxidants and contains more caffeine than regular green tea. That being said, matcha contains a compound called L-theanine that alters the effect of caffeine, which helps avoid a caffeine crash [1]. An animal study found that matcha tea has an antidepressant-like effect [2].
Recipe Variations
This matcha latte with mango is very simple, using minimal ingredients. So, there aren’t very many variations to recommend.
- Sweetener: This homemade tropical matcha uses absolutely no added sugar. That being said, if you want to make it sweeter, I recommend using liquid sugar like maple syrup or agave. Either of these will combine well, even with cold liquid. If you only have cane sugar on hand, then make sure to add it to the hot matcha so it will dissolve!
- Milk: We usually have oat milk on hand, so that is what I used in this recipe. However, I always recommend using your favorite milk. Homemade cashew milk, almond milk, hemp milk, or soy milk are all great options. Remember that oat milk is naturally sweeter, so if you opt for another milk alternative, you may wish to add some sugar to this mango matcha drink.
Ingredients + Notes
The perfect homemade mango matcha latte using just three simple ingredients. Now, if you’ve made it this far and realize you don’t have any mango on hand, then I highly recommend trying this Strawberry Matcha Recipe instead!
- Matcha: When it comes to making matcha lattes, it’s important to use the best matcha green tea powder. This means investing in a high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder.

Serving Ideas
Obviously, this mango green tea matcha can be enjoyed all on its own. However, if you’re in the mood for a snack or a meal pairing, here are my top recommendations!
- Oats: Enjoy a warm bowl of Strawberry Cream Oatmeal or Cocoa Oatmeal. Alternatively, for a good meal prep option, you can make this PB &J Overnight Oats or Overnight Oats Made With Water.
- Toast: Who doesn’t love toast? This Tofu Scramble on Toast, Strawberry Toast, and Vegan Avocado Toast are all great options.
- Pancakes: Some good classics to try with this mango green tea latte include Easy Eggless Pancakes, Vegan Banana Pancakes, Tiny Pancakes, and Vegan Protein Pancakes.
Storage Tips
I recommend enjoying this green tea matcha with mango purée within 24 hours for the best taste. However, you could make the mango purée ahead of time and store it in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for 3-4 days.
