Unlock the benefits of beets in this beautiful pink latte filled with antioxidants and a naturally sweet flavor.
Whether you love eating beets or aren’t a fan of the root vegetable, we can all agree they’re messy to prepare. Beetroot powder takes out all of the prep work (and stained fingers) while you still get to enjoy the benefits.
Beetroot powder can easily be mixed into your favorite smoothies or hot beverages. It’s also delicious stirred into oatmeal or added to cookie dough, turning any recipe a perfect pink hue. Beetroot powder is naturally sweet and very mild tasting.
The powder made from beets is a concentrated source of antioxidants and contains a special chemical that the body converts to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide can help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
Antioxidants present in beets help support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.
Rooibos tea’s flavor shines in this latte. Rooibos is a red tea with notes of woodsy vanilla and caramel. This variety of tea is unique because it is low in tannins with more antioxidants than green tea and is caffeine-free, so it’s ideal for enjoying when you want to wind down and relax.
Rooibos tea and beetroot are whisked into steamed almond milk and finished with a generous amount of frothed almond milk. Different brands of almond milk froth better than others, so experiment with a few to find the best one to use in lattes.
