Question 1

What is an ube mango latte?

Accepted Answer

An ube mango latte is a layered iced drink combining a golden mango compote base, cold plant-based milk, and a purple foam made from Ube Nolia ube powder (100% pure Filipino purple yam). It is caffeine-free, naturally vegan, and ready in 15 minutes.

Question 2

Can I make an ube mango latte without ube powder?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but the flavor and color will not be the same. Ube Nolia ube powder delivers the authentic purple hue and the hazelnut-vanilla aroma that defines this drink.

Question 3

Can I use frozen mango for a mango ube latte?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thaw the mango and drain the excess water before blending so the compote stays thick and does not dilute the drink.

Question 4

Is ube mango latte vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Made with plant-based milk (oat, almond, coconut or soy) and maple syrup instead of honey, the ube mango latte is 100% vegan.

Question 5

Is ube the same as purple sweet potato or taro?

Accepted Answer

No. Ube (Dioscorea alata) is a Filipino purple yam. It is sweeter, more aromatic and less starchy than taro, and its purple color is naturally more vivid than purple sweet potato.

Question 6

How many calories in an ube mango latte?

Accepted Answer

About 95 kcal per serving when prepared with almond milk and one teaspoon of maple syrup. Coconut milk raises it to roughly 140 kcal.

Question 7

Where can I buy authentic ube powder for lattes?

Accepted Answer

Ube Nolia sells 100% pure ube powder sourced from Dagupan and Urdaneta in the Philippines, with no additives, no coloring and no sugar. One 100g pouch makes up to 33 lattes.
