I have trouble waking up most mornings. I’m a big fan of coffee, but I’m also very sensitive to it, especially with little miss. During pregnancy, I’ve had to cut back on coffee almost entirely.
I’ve always been fun and a bit WEIRD about my coffee alternatives, loading them with superfoods. Superfood lattes provide natural energy and other nutritional perks. Maybe you’re holding a cup of antioxidant rich beauty beet bliss, or a tummy-taming turmeric golden milk, or healing cacao chai magic. Here, I rounded up my favorite superfood latte recipes all loaded with Philosophie superfoods.
