A vibrant, naturally blue latte made with nutrient-dense spirulina powder, creamy milk, and natural sweeteners. This Instagram-worthy beverage is packed with antioxidants and pairs perfectly with your morning routine or afternoon slump. Ready in minutes with just a few simple ingredients!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
  • 1 cup milk of your choice (whole, almond, oat, coconut, or cashew)
  • 12 tablespoons raw honey (or 23 pitted dates, soaked in warm water for 5 minutes)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • Ice (if serving cold)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Base Add the blue spirulina powder and ¼ cup of warm water to your blender. This prevents clumping and helps the powder distribute evenly.

Step 2: Blend the Spirulina Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the spirulina powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. There should be no visible clumps or grittiness.

Step 3: Add the Milk and Sweetener Pour in your milk of choice and add honey or your prepared dates. If using vanilla extract, add it now. Blend again on high speed for 30–45 seconds until everything is combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust Take a quick taste. If it needs more sweetness, add an extra teaspoon of honey and blend briefly. If it feels too thick, add a splash more milk.

Step 5: Strain (Optional) For an ultra-smooth latte, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining particles. This step is optional but creates a silkier mouthfeel.

Step 6: Serve Pour into your favorite mug. For a hot latte, serve immediately. For a cold version, add a handful of ice and stir well.

Step 7: Optional Toppings Top with a sprinkle of coconut flakes, a drizzle of honey, edible glitter, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for extra visual appeal and flavor.

Notes

  • Spirulina quality matters: Use pure, high-quality, third-party tested spirulina powder for best results and flavor.
  • Temperature tip: If you prefer hot milk, gently warm it on the stovetop before blending, or blend the room-temperature milk and then pour it into a preheated mug (hot blending can reduce nutrient content).
  • Make it colder: For an iced version, add ice to the blender with the milk for a frappe-like consistency.
  • Batch prep: You can make a larger batch by multiplying the recipe and storing in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Sweetener swap: If you don’t have honey, try maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar, or stevia for different flavor profiles.
