The day of the turmeric latte (and the matcha for that matter) is done. It’s time instead to welcome the charcoal latte into our midst.

Based on the lauded digestive benefits of activated charcoal, the new superfood-based drink has been popping up at health food establishments around the world (including Melbourne’s Drugstore Espresso). Naturally, it’s also become a favourite of Instagram.

Considering the detoxifying results associated with charcoal, it’s no surprise that the superfood has been made into a morning drink. Activated charcoal helps to draw toxins from the body. The substance contains tiny pores that bond and trap toxins, gases, heavy metals and chemicals, helping us to excrete them naturally. When mixed with a nut milk and a sweetener you have yourself one easy (and delicious) way to detox all before the working day begins.
