Superfood Lattes: The Emerging Trend You Should Know About

Posted: February 11, 2018

Once upon a time, a latte was espresso and steamed milk. Today, not only are there at least a dozen dairy and non-dairy options for milk, but coffee isn’t even essential to a latte. The proof is in superfood lattes, or milk combined with less traditional and often nutrient dense ingredients. They are starting to take over Instagram feeds for their sheer beauty and the health benefits they deliver. Here are a few we thought you should know about:
