This superfood pink latte tastes as good as it looks! I tell you this because I’ve definitely had my fair share of superfood lattes at various cafes that look super interesting, but don’t live up to their looks.
I’m definitely digging all things pink these days—hence this latte. It’s just a colour that sings happiness and contentment to me. I’ve been wearing lots of pink coloured shirts since this obsession began, despite the photo below.
I love warm drinks in the winter whether it’s a Turmeric Latte, Matcha Latte or a Rise and Shine Latte. I’m a happy gal when I have something warm and comforting while I work away at the office.
The ingredients are pretty simple in this recipe, but they are super nourishing, rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and anti-inflammatory compounds.
To give that beautiful pink colour you’ll need to get either organic raspberry powder (my preference), pomegranate or beet powder. They all look beautiful, but the raspberry powder is my fave. This is the raspberry powder I used, this is the pomegranate powder and this is the beet powder you can use.
Organika also makes a “pink latte” mix with beet powder which I’ve also used before (the lighter pink) and it’s in the photo below but the colour is not as vibrant.
To get a nice frothy latte be sure to make this in your blender. It needs a high power blender blade to blitz it to perfection!
The blender makes it frothy and the coconut butter makes it creamy. There is no nut milk or any milk added to this recipe. The magic is in the coconut butter so don’t skip this ingredient. Nutiva makes a wonderful coconut butter (called “mana”) that is delicious to slather on toast or pancakes after you’ve used it for the tasty latte. Coconut butter is actually very easy to make with coconut flakes. I just don't have a recipe to share on the blog... yet :)
The maple syrup gives it an added sweetness, so if you’re using beet powder, you may want to make it a little sweeter as the raspberry powder has a lovely sweetness all on its own.
Here’s the recipe for my Superfood Pink Latte!

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp organic raspberry powder or pomegranate powder or 1 tbsp beetroot powder
- 2 heaping tbsp of coconut butter
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp grated ginger
- 2 cups hot water
- Optional: 1 scoop collagen
Instructions
- Add to a high power blender, raspberry powder, coconut butter, maple syrup or honey, grated ginger, hot water and collagen if using.
- Let steam come out before blending. Blend for 60 seconds until fully mixed and frothy. Pour into 2 mugs and enjoy.
- I made some extra foam for the top in my espresso machine. Using about 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk, steam milk until frothy. Spoon froth on top and sprinkle with powder.
Notes
Serves 2.
Raspberry powder has a slightly sweet flavour so you may not have to add as much maple syrup or at all. I bought it on amazon, see my links above and below.
UPDATE: I know I mentioned this once already in my post (above) but I’m sharing it again here because I think people are missing it. This is the raspberry powder I used, this is the pomegranate powder and this is the beet powder you can use.
If you want to take it an extra step and froth up some foam, then go for it! Using a milk frother or the steamer on your espresso machine you can choose your favourite nut or oat milk and steam it up!
Be sure to sprinkle some raspberry powder on top! And this recipe serves 2!
Okay—just one more photo because this latte is sooooooo pretty!
Have a joyous week!

Good morning Joy I’m looking forward to trying this one! Thank you for sharing 🥰💐
ReplyYour welcome!
What else can you use the raspberry powder in, as it’s a bit on the pricey side?
ReplyI know it seems expensive, but a little goes a long way and it will likely last you a few months. That being said, you could try pomegranate powder too and it's a little cheaper! https://amzn.to/2v3aszY
Your link doesn’t take me to the raspberry powder. What is the brand?
ReplyThat's strange, when I click on the link it takes me right to the product: https://amzn.to/36WbHON Are you in North America?
What are the brands of the raspberry
ReplyThis is the one I used, I bought it off Amazon: https://amzn.to/36WbHON
Where can I purchase raspberry powder?
ReplyI linked it in my post, but here it is again! https://amzn.to/36WbHON I just bought it off Amazon because I didn't know any health food store that had it.
Are your "heaping spoonfuls" teaspoons or table/soup spoons? I have some freeze-dried berries that would work for this already in the pantry! Thanks!
ReplyGood question! I've just updated the recipe. It's tbsp :)
Thank you!
Blume also makes a beetroot latte mix that is delicious and makes a lovely pink latte (I get it from well.ca). But I’m going to try the raspberry one - kids will love it too!
ReplyOh good to know! I know of that company but I thought they were natural beauty products!
Hi, Is there anything I can use in place of the coconut butter only I am allergic to coconut. Thanks in advance. The drink looks amazing.
ReplyYou could use any milk preferably a non-dairy milk. So I would do half nut milk and half hot water.
Wow! Now that is an anti-aging drink :)!
ReplyYou got it!! :)
hey great article. I'm an avid supporter of joyoushealth and their promotion to alternative holistic and natural health. I'd like to share something my wife
ReplyI think some of your message is missing!
Could this be done as an Iced latta? If yes, what would you change?
ReplyJust pour the whole thing over ice, that would be delish!
Hi, could you provide a link to the GH collagen? Thanks!

What's the difference between Marine and Bovine Collagen please?
ReplyThere isn't a big difference, it's more personal preference. Some claim one is better than the other for skin health (most people claim marine) but I've used both and find that bovine is better for skin however the research is on par for both! So you can't really go wrong with either.
This was so good! I had the pomegranite powder and the combo of honey, ginger and pomegranite was amazing!!
ReplyHappy to hear you loved it! Sounds like a fabulous combo!
I’m going to try this with haskup berry powder I got from Amazon- I’m thinking it maybe more purple in colour. If you haven’t tried Blume latte drink powders they are very good too. I like the Matcha coconut, the mint chocolate and the seasonal ones. I have yet to try their beet or lavender one.
