While there have been plenty of cafes to create whimsical unicorn lattes, these beverages typically end up being laden with artificial coloring agents, candied sprinkles and sugary marshmallows in order to achieve a spectacular rainbow of colors. The End Brooklyn in New York also makes a colorful Unicorn Latte of its own, but this beverages diverges from others by being packed with rich superfood ingredients.
Most noticeably, the Unicorn Latte boasts a rich blue color, which comes from blue green algae known as E3 Live. Other ingredients in the beverage, which is free from both coffee and dairy, include coconut milk, nourishing maca, vanilla and ginger. This best-selling beverage from The End Brooklyn also "boosts energy, provides mental clarity, and increases health and wellness by nurturing intestinal bacteria."
