5 Rainbow Fruit Lattes

These 5 rainbow fruit lattes are frothy, healthy, warm (or cold if you wish), and most are made of fruit!

Serve them hot or cold. We have pink, purple, yellow, green. I had to add in a blue matcha option, because what is a latte collection without blue matcha, I mean really..

Still, the other three are fully-fruit based and offer such a comforting party in the mouth. It’s even a comfort to just hold these fruity fragrant drinks when hot and sniff the delicious steam wafting off the cup..

All five of these drinks fuel your body with antioxidants, amino acids, and other various nutrition that help with nutrient-absorption, balance hormones, keep organs healthy, protect against disease and aging, give a cognitive boost.

And I add a teaspoon of healthy fat coconut butter or coconut oil to give the drink an added boost – the addition actually helps stave off hunger for a time.

So these drinks really are perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. And you can make them as is, or use my recipes as a jumping off point. In fact, I think I might experiment with adding veggies.

After all, I add zucchini and cauliflower to my smoothies, here and here, so why not lattes?

How does a zucchini latte sound to you? Or how about a cauliflower latte. I bet they could be flavored to taste great. Hmmm..

Back to my current recipes. I made them so you’d drink them hot, but I also provide instructions for drinking them chilled. I just wanted to get you thinking about making a hot latte with fruit!

Tell me if you do, and tag me on your creation on Instagram, I’d love to see!

Let’s get to latte-ing!

Ingredients

Blueberry Latte

• 1 cup plant milk
• 1/4 cup blueberries
• 1 tbsp coconut butter (I use this brand)(coconut oil can be substituted)

Pomegranate Latte

• 1 cup plant milk
• 2 tbsp pomegranate juice (I use this brand)

Mango or Jackfruit Latte

• 1 cup plant milk
• 1/4 cup chopped Jackfruit or Mango
• 1 tbsp coconut butter coconut oil can be substituted

Blue Matcha Latte

• 1 cup plant milk
• 1-2 tbsp blue matcha powder (I use this brand)

Green Matcha Latte

• 1 cup plant milk
• 1-2 tsp ceremonial-grade matcha (I use this brand)
• 1 tbsp coconut butter coconut oil can be substituted

Useful Equipment

• Milk Foamer (this brand)

Instructions

• Choose your latte flavor!
• To make it hot, bring the milk to a soft boil until it is steaming. Turn off the stove, and stir in your coconut butter/oil, and fruit. Pour the steaming mixture into your high-speed blender and blend creamy. Hopefully you have one that can tolerate a hot spin; if not, be sure your lid is a bit loose to allow steam to escape so your blender doesn't pop the lid off and decorate your kitchen walls with your latte.
• To make it cold, just blend until mixed, add in a bit of ice if you want a slushy texture.
• For either hot or cold, dollop on some foaming plant milk, and sprinkle cinnamon on top, and sip your delicious rainbow latte!

Optional addins:

• If you want your drink sweeter, stir in the every faithful maple syrup. For a protein boost, add a tbsp of protein powder, and for further nutrition, try 1 tsp of MCT oil
