Unicorn latte:the detox and well-being drink to consume without moderation

We have to admit, very few wellness drinks make us want to. Their tastes are sometimes original, and it is difficult to put up with them, despite all their benefits. Except for the unicorn latte , which largely thanks to its name did not fail to arouse our curiosity. This drink definitely made us reconsider our judgment on these beverages. It's a perfect alternative to our morning coffee, with added health benefits!

Unicorn latte:what is this miracle drink

With its beautiful pastel blue color, it is a vegetable milk drink . It owes its pretty color to a superfood with many benefits:spirulina. A seaweed that can contain up to 70% protein, but also trace elements and good minerals, which will only be good for your body. In addition to giving you an energy boost, this elixir, developed in a New York cafe (The End Brooklyn cafe's), also has detoxifying and digestive properties .

Why adopt the unicorn latte?

In addition to being good for your health, this drink seems rather pleasant to taste. Because ? It contains coconut milk, ginger, lemon and the famous spirulina, which has a very slight salty taste, barely noticeable if you don't get carried away with the dosages. What make us want to try it at home. And that's good, because we found a recipe inspired by the Ayurvedic tradition, which should allow you to concoct a unicorn milk worthy of the name.
