Australia seems to be at the forefront of hipster coffee shop crazes and one trend that seems to be pushing boundaries is the introduction of Coloured Lattes that aim to literally brighten up your day in more ways than one. With the health and fitness revolution in full swing and super foods being discovered or more even rediscovered on a regular basis, finding new ways to consume them seems to be the next phase in operation ‘Who can live the longest’.
Although the original defintion of the Latte dictates it should be a coffee based drink made of espresso and steamed milk this is one trend that strips out coffee altogether, adding concoctions of nutritious foods and milks that as well as keep you in tip-top shape, turn them the colours of the rainbow ticking every box on a millennials must have list.
To give you a glimpse into this universe and showcase the colour pa-Latte (see what i did there) I’ve pulled some of the best colours and what ingredients they include that may change the way you think about the Lattes forever. The question is…which Power Ranger will you be??
Green Latte – Uses Matcha Tea powder that includes 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea.
Red/Rose Latte – Includes Beetroot powder that along with most dark vegetables claim to have a higher nutrition count than light vegetables and in this case lowers blood pressure.
Yellow Latte – Turmeric infused that has long been used for medicinal purposes as an immune system booster and anti inflammatory ingredient.
Blue Latte – Made from Blue algae that has been described as one of the most nutrient dense foods on mother Earth so why not make a drink of it!
Black Latte – Black sesame paste provides the base ingredient known as a good form of vitamins and minerals that help bone, hair and skin rejuvenation and growth.
