Ingredients

2 Tbsp coconut flakes/desiccated coconut
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 cup milk of choice
1 cup filtered water
2 Tbsp nut butter
1 tsp coconut butter
1 - 3 tsp raw honey, depending on preference
1½ - 2 tsp Spirulina Powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt

Method

Step 1

In a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly, toast the coconut and sesame seeds until golden brown and fragrant.

Step 2

Add milk and water to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, but do not boil.

Step 3

Add mixture to a high speed blender along with the rest of the ingredients, and blend on high for 3 minutes or until smooth. Taste and adjust for your preferences.

Step 4

Filter through a fine mesh sieve and return to the saucepan to gently heat until at desired drinking temperature. Pour into two mugs and enjoy!

Note:

This drink can be served hot, or enjoyed cold for a delicious iced frappé. Simply skip the final reheating step - store in the fridge until cool - and pour over ice for a refreshing summer beverage.
If you’d like to add extra froth or foam to your latte, simply use an electrical or hand-held milk-frother after the milk mixture has been filtered.
