In this post, you’ll discover:
- What Yerba Mate is and why it’s gaining popularity

- Two delicious Yerba Mate + MYOM recipes

What Is Yerba Mate?
Yerba Mate (pronounced *yer-bah MAH-tay*) is a plant native to South America known for its:
- Smooth, clean energy (like coffee, but without the jitters)
- High antioxidant content
- Support for focus, digestion, and metabolism
It can be brewed like tea or made into lattes for a more indulgent drink.
Why Yerba Mate + MYOM Original Oat Are Best Mates
Traditional tea and coffee farming can have environmental and ethical drawbacks — think monocultures, climate sensitivity, and labour exploitation. Yerba Mate offers a more sustainable alternative:
- Often shade-grown in biodiverse regions
- Less chemically intensive
- Naturally climate-resilient
MYOM Original Oat complements Yerba Mate perfectly because it:
- Has a neutral, creamy flavour that enhances Mate’s earthiness
- Contains no gums or additives — just natural goodness
- Steams beautifully for perfect lattes
- Is free from dairy, soy, and allergens
Together, they create a delicious, gut-friendly drink that’s kind to your body and the planet.

Recipe 2: MYOM Mate Cocido con Leche
A classic breakfast drink, Mate Cocido con Leche is like a cosy hug in a mug — especially with MYOM.
