Drinking our Butterfly Pea Latte is like taking a sip of serenity. From its cool, blue color to its creamy, floral notes, everything about this latte is enchanting. Best of all, with just five ingredients and your Vitamix, it’s easy to make any time you want a refreshing treat.
This bright blue latte gets its color and name from a powder made from the butterfly pea plant, which is native to Southeast Asia. Butterfly pea powder contains anthocyanins, an antioxidant that, according to studies, may help lower blood pressure, support heart and brain health, and prevent chronic disease.
With a taste that’s reminiscent of sugar cookies, this caffeine-free latte is a great option if you’re cutting back on coffee. The Vitamix Culinary Team recommends using soy milk because it foams well and is packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. For a slightly different flavor profile, swap soy milk for almond, oat, or macadamia nut milk and use the Non-Dairy Milk program on your Vitamix to make it.
