Barbie-inspired Iced Beetroot Latte

It’s the summer of Barbie and all things pink! And we too have caught Barbie-fever.

Symptoms of Barbie-fever vary, but generally begin with an irresistible urge to incorporate more pink into your everyday life through pink clothes and accessories, and eventually progress to cravings for pink food and beverages. And it was a Barbie-fever-dream that lead us to dream up this Barbie-inspired pink Iced Beetroot Latte!

It’s pink, delicious, caffeine-free and fit for Barbie! The pink-dyed milk is made using the milk leftover after enjoying a bowl of our award-winning Beetroot Ginger Garden Granola®. We normally drink the leftover milk straight from the bowl, but in Barbie’s honor, we are showing some restraint and saving it to use in this delicious latte. So join us in our embrace of all things pink and enjoy this Barbie-inspired Iced Beetroot latte! Cheers!
