Amidst the winter whites and greys, let your kitchen become a technicolor haven. We tapped Sakara Wellness Coach and food alchemist, Sasha Pagni, to craft six functional nut mylks that spark joy in color, but aren’t just for show. Each hue is chock full of phytonutrients, minerals, polyphenols, and antioxidants. Plus, incorporating multiple colors in your diet creates diversity in your microbial ecology which fights pathogens and can prevent chronic disease.
For the base, find a homemade almond mylk from Sakara founder, Danielle Duboise that forgoes the health-detracting ingredients found in store-bought varieties like locust bean gum (irritating to the gut and liver) and mystery “natural flavors.” Instead, her rendition uses soaked almonds to neutralize enzyme blockers for easy digestion, plus coconut butter. These healthy fats do wonders for the skin, building healthy cell membranes and protecting the dermis’ natural oil barrier. The result is a rainbow’s worth of options to change up your ho-hum latte, smoothie, or even warming soups—and breathe new, nutrient-dense life.
HOMEMADE ALMOND MYLK BASE:
Ingredients:
Directions:
PINK
High in polyphenol content, rose is a potent, youthful beauty food. Mixed with beets, which have the liver-detoxifying amino acid betaine, this rosy-hued mylk will flood your skin with healing benefits. This mylk pairs well with Classic Superfood Granola, oatmeal, or blended with Metabolism Super Powder for a velvety hot cocoa.
ORANGE
The goji berry is packed with carotenoids which lower inflammation, and it’s also been studied as a superfood to balance insulin and lower blood glucose levels. The adaptogenic schisandra, another potent berry, supports the endocrine system, balancing hormones and igniting sexual desire. This sunshine-colored mylk makes a nutrient-dense base to a frothy latte, like our favorite hot beauty elixir here.
YELLOW
This electric brew mixes together anti-inflammatory roots like turmeric and ginger, with aromatic cinnamon to boost your intake of the antioxidant, epicatechin. We suggest making this the base for a golden latte, High-Vibe Pumpkin Spice Latte, or Sunshine Curry Stew.
GREEN
This deeply medicinal blend is made with nettles, one of the most mineral-rich leaves on the planet, plus Detox Water Drops, your daily source of chlorophyll to oxygenate the blood and clean out your body at the cellular level. The pitted date sweetens the deal. Add this deep green dream to Organic Protein + Greens Super Powder for a protein-shake on the go, or to matcha for an upleveled latte.
BLUE
The star of this Instagram-famous mylk is the blue-green spirulina known as Blue Majik, which is rich in phycocyanin which rids the body of toxins. Add in the antimicrobial wunderkind that is Manuka honey and you’ve got an aquamarine tonic that tastes yum in a smoothie or poured over Plant Protein Granola.
PURPLE
Butterfly pea flowers are a staunch blue but mixed with the luscious scarlet from the beet, the primary colors do their magic and transform into a vivid purple. This blue flower in particular contains catechins, which have been studied to rev metabolism and burn adipose tissue. Lavender is a soothing source for menstrual cramps, while promising research indicates it can support hair growth. Whip this mylk in with blueberries and banana for an easy smoothie. Or, heat up the mylk and add in reishi and coconut for a soothing latte.
