If you're a foodie or love Instagram wellness accounts, you've probably seen images of bright, beautifully coloured tart., ranging from green, blue and yellow to pink and even black. Thse are the 'rainbow lattes'. While food dyes were first used to create shades, the health scene has turned them into superfood drinks using natural powders instead. Unlike ordinary lattes, where contrasting colours of milk and coffee are used, rainbow lattes usually don't contain caffeine and use turmeric, beetroot, green algae, matcha tea and even charcoal to add colour and the nutritional benefits that come along with them.

One you're probably very familiar with is a matcha latte, which is simply matcha green tea powder blended with frothy almond or coconut milk and maybe a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. A better alternative to your morning cup of coffee, it will give you a boost of energy that will be slowly released throughout the morning without causing the sudden rise and then crash of normal caffeine. And it contains L-theanine, an amino acid that stimulates calmness without drowsiness and can balance out the caffeine content. Plus it aids the increase of concentration - perfect before an exam!

Green tea is known to be rich in antioxidants, which are even more concentrated in matcha. One especially epigallocatechin gallon (EGCG), supports skin health by reducing inflammation and free radicals that accelerate skin ageing. You can enjoy your lane and glow from the inside out.

THE GREEN OPTION 

If you've seen pictures of green 'arms that look a bit darker, almost a deep blue-green colour, they're probably made with spirulina and chlorella that have been mixed with nut milk and often the addition of spices and touch of natural sweetener. It's the perfect way to have a dose of greens if you're not a fan of vegetables or don't like the taste of green superfoods by themselves.

Spirulina and chlorella are a powerhouse of essential nutrients such as vitamins, trace minerals, iron, essential fatty acids and plant-based protein thanks to a high chlorophyll content. Spirulina is rich in easily digestible amino acids and powerful antioxidants that protect cells from damage, such as phycocyanin and bee-carotene. It also stimulates the immune system. 

Chlorella is another concentrated chlorophyll source that is great at pulling toxins from our tissues and helps eliminate them, as well as facilitating the removal of heavy metals. An additional beautiful rainbow lane made from algae is blue lane. It will definitely be loved by kids too, as it looks like it came straight from the world of Smurfs! It's created using the E3 Live Blue Majik algae powder to give your lane the prettiest shade of blue. Perfect paired with coconut milk, vanilla and ginger If like drinking a magic potion! Just like spirulina and chlorella, Blue Majik is very nutrient dense, filled with vitamin B12, minerals, enzymes and compounds that have strong antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit our cells' integrity and the health of our tissues and brain. One of them is C-phycocyanin, a type of storage protein rich in amino acids that gives these algae its bright blue colour Nature is magic.

Another lane that seems to have come straight out of a fairytale is the beetroot lane with its vivid pink colour. Delicious mixed with ginger or with the addition of rose oil and a sprinkle of edible flower petals on top. Beetroots are another good source of antioxidants such as vitamin C, manganese, and betalains, which give these vegetables their deep red colour. All these compounds can support the lowering of systemic inflammation in the body caused by internal or external stressors in our everyday lives and reduce oxidation. Plus, betalains can support liver detoxification phase two, where toxins are made water soluble so they can be then excreted from the body.

Sometimes, pink lattes will be made from pitaya, or dragon fruit, which is a delicious fruit of a cactus plant grown in Central and South America and South East Asia. The frozen pulp can be used in smoothie bowls, while the dried pulp powder can be whisked into warm nut milk to create a bright pink drink.

GOLDEN MILK 

You may also have tried golden milks or turmeric lattes, where turmeric powder is mixed with black pepper, spices, maybe coconut oil, and added to frothy plant-based milks. I personally love adding cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and vanilla and pair the turmeric paste with coconut milk — heavenly!

Golden milk comes from the Ayurvedic tradition, where turmeric has long been used to support a healthy inflammatory response. This spice contains special compounds that can actually block inflammatory responses in the body and act as anti-inflammatory drugs.

Now, you may not be able to get all these powerful effects from a teaspoon of the powder,but you can still sip on a warm mug a day to enjoy some of its benefits. In India, this comforting drink is used at bedtime for its soothing effect on the digestive and nervous system.

If you're not a lover of bright colours, there is still a rainbow latte just for you — charcoal latte. Made with the addition of activated charcoal powder, it gives the drink a grey and black hue. You can pair it with any dairy-free milk of choice, but make sure to use only a tiny amount of the powder so that the lam can still have a pleasant taste. Also, mix in a pinch of vanilla and a touch of sweetener.

Activated charcoal tends to be used in gastrointestinal issues such as bloating, indigestion and irritable bowel, as it can reduce tension and discomfort while binding to toxins, helping to eliminate them. The tiny amount in the lams will unlikely have any major effects on your health, though, but it will still be nice to sip on a black magic potion!

Whether you order your latte at a cafe or make your own, for best results and a true 'lane-like' texture, choose a milk that froths well. Coconut, almond and cashew are all good options.

If you want to try green lanes, start by adding half a teaspoon of green powder and see how you like the taste, adjusting with more milk, sweetener or spices. Spices are great in rainbow lattes and complement the different powders, so experiment with unique combinations. If you want your rainbow mug extra fluffy, use a handheld milk frother or, if you have a blender, blend the drink for a hole while — it incorporates air and becomes nice and frothy.
