The Gut Restoration Latte is a gentle, nourishing drink that supports digestive health. With butterfly pea flower for a calming touch, and herbs like slippery elm, marshmallow root, and milk thistle to help soothe the gut, it’s both functional and refreshing. Aloe juice and beet juice offer additional hydration and nutrients, while coconut milk and a hint of honey provide a smooth, lightly sweet balance. Finished with a layer of frothy coconut milk, this latte is a simple, comforting way to care for your gut.
