We all know the power of a good topping – that sprinkle of magic that elevates a dish from ordinary to extraordinary. Here at Robert Kline Art, we’re all about embracing creativity, whether it’s through crafting with our hands or experimenting in the kitchen. Today, we’re diving into the world of healthy indulgence with a recipe that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious: a hemp milk chai crowned with a vibrant “superdust.”
Chlorella: The Green Goddess of Superfoods
This superdust gets its eye-catching blue-green hue from chlorella powder, a powerhouse single-celled algae. Don’t let its size fool you, chlorella is brimming with chlorophyll, those healthy omega-3 fatty acids we’re always hearing about, and a hefty dose of protein.
“Chlorella is a whopping sixty percent protein,” explains Taylor Johnson, RDN, LDN of Roots Reboot, “and because it boasts all the essential amino acids our bodies crave, it earns its stripes as a complete protein.”
As more people embrace plant-based lifestyles, the search for natural sources of complete protein and vitamin B12 intensifies. Chlorella powder emerges as a delicious answer, making its way from health food stores to trendy cafes across the country.
A Splash of Green in a Cup: Chlorella’s Rise to Fame
The unique combination of taste and nutrition in chlorella powder has propelled it into the spotlight. You’ll find it adding a boost of green goodness to everything from smoothies to kombucha.
For our hemp milk chai, chlorella powder takes a more subtle approach. “We often use cardamom or cinnamon as latte toppers,” shares Chris Morocco, a seasoned food editor who crafted this delightful recipe. “We saw this as an opportunity to reimagine what that finishing touch could be.”
Hemp Milk Chai: A Symphony of Flavors and Colors
This creamy, non-dairy chai latte is a symphony of warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. The chlorella powder, while adding a subtle earthy note, truly shines in the aesthetics department.
“You might not experience a huge nutritional impact from a sprinkle,” admits Morocco, “but the visual impact is undeniable.” And we couldn’t agree more! This drink is a feast for the eyes, inviting you to start your day with a touch of green.
