Trader Joe's recently introduced a new ready-to-drink product called the 'Organic Cold Brew Mocha Nut Latte,' which boasts a creamy base of almonds and cashews. The bottled beverage product also includes organic ground coffee beans, cocoa powder and dates, plus Himalayan pink salt, vanilla beans and cinnamon for added taste.

In general, healthy nut-based milk and lattes are currently coming into the spotlight as protein-rich alternatives to conventional dairy products.
