Welcoming wellness with superfood lattes
Health food should be an enjoyable everyday habit and not something you have to force yourself to like. This rules out the cardboard granola bar with tooth-cracking flecks and seeds from all walks of life. Something with antioxidant-rich organic spices would hold our attention, which is why we launched Saku wellness lattes at Uptown Tunnel Coffee in Williamstown, MA.
Saku wellness lattes are made with organic spices like turmeric, beetroot and matcha.
We chose these latte blends for taste, but all three three healthy varieties—turmeric, beetroot and matcha—are superfoods with near magic powers. They can be prepared hot or iced, and customers get the full benefit of the organic spices in either choice.
The turmeric in Saku’s Golden Orange latte contains circumin, an anti-inflammatory powerhouse used as a medicine in eastern cultures for centuries. Indonesians drink it every day with ginger, honey and lemon as the homemade health tonic jamu. In Hindu culture, turmeric is considered a sacred spice. The Ruby Ginger and Ruby Cocoa lattes contain heart-protective beetroot, which also provides a healthy dose of vitamins A, C and folic acid. Warming cocoa and sweet coconut milk make both beetroot lattes perfect for an end of day indulgence. Vanilla Maple Jade is packed with antioxidants from matcha and tastes more like a cozy hot chocolate than an immune boosting superfood.
Saku wellness lattes at Uptown Tunnel Coffee are definitely a win for those seeking a beverage with complex flavors and good for you super-spices. Maybe someday, all health food will taste this good. Until then, we’re steering clear of sawdust squares posing as granola bars.
