The growing Louisiana-based juice and smoothie bar franchise Main Squeeze Juice Co., has recently unveiled new holiday latte flavors: Hot Chai Cookie and Frozen Mocha Mint.
Available from all Main Squeeze Juice Co. locations, the two new holiday lattes are packed with plant-based ingredients and nutritious superfoods. As Main Squeeze's CEO Thomas Nietoplains, "We’re excited to share these amazing flavors with our customers and offer a way to enjoy a festive drink while still being health conscious."
The new Hot Chai Cookie latte starts with Califia Farms' dairy-free Cookie Butter Almond Milk Creamer, which is then combined with maple, filtered hot water, coconut butter, and chai spice. The whole thing is also topped with dairy-free whip. On the other hand, the new Frozen Mocha Mint is a cold drink made from almond milk, espresso, maple, almond butter, cacao, peppermint extract, and dairy-free whip topping.
