Pink Beetroot Latte

Every time I’m back in our old neighborhood in Barcelona, I can’t resist stopping by Brunnels, the historic pastisseria located a few doors down from our old place. This gem of a bakery just celebrated its 170th birthday and also recently won the coveted award of best croissants in Spain, which I am all too familiar with and can vouch are delightful. But in my opinion, the best kept secret of this charming bakery is actually quietly hiding out on their drink menu…

…their pink beetroot latte. ♡

As someone who’s never been all that into beets, I had always assumed the pink latte trend wouldn’t be for me. But ever since I aged into the can’t-come-anywhere-near-caffeine-after-11am club a few years ago, I’ve been spending much more time exploring decaf menus all around town. And one day when the barista at Brunnels talked me into trying his favorite drink on their menu, the latte de remolacha, I was surprised to not just like it…but love it.

To be sure, there are countless ways to make a “pink” latte. But Brunnels’ version is spiced similarly to a chai or golden milk with lots of cozy warming spices, a touch of sweetener, and whatever milk you prefer. Then that gorgeous burst of pink comes from the addition of beetroot powder, whose earthiness adds an irresistible bit of earthiness to drink, as well as major dose of vitamins and nutrients. A hot mug is the perfect sipper on a cold winter’s day…or the iced version is also delightfully refreshing. I love them both!

Anyway, you probably imagined where this story was heading. Once we moved away from Brunnels to our current flat in Barcelona, I realized it was officially time to figure out how to make my own beetroot lattes en casa. Turns out, it’s incredibly quick and easy to mix your own dry beet root latte mix with just 5 ingredients. Then whenever you’re craving a homemade pink latte, just add a spoonful to either a mug of steamed milk or glass of iced milk and you’re good to go. It’s so comforting, nice and healthy, and surprisingly delicious. I think you’re going to love it.

Let’s make some pink lattes!

Salmon in Burst Tomato Sauce

This one definitely wins the award of most-made (and most-loved!) dinner recipe in our house this season. ♡

Seriously, we’ve been making some version of this salmon with burst tomato sauce almost weekly for the past few months and still can’t seem to get enough of it. Even 11-month-old Teo is a fan too!

It ticks all of those boxes we’re craving this time of year. Ready to go from start to finish in 30 minutes (like, honestly and truly fast)? Check. Super easy to make with minimal prep (basically just chop garlic and basil and grate some Parmesan)? Check. Summertime fresh tomato sauce vibes in the middle of winter (thank you, cherry tomatoes that taste good year-round)? Check. Fun recipe to play around with (hello, adding burrata or pasta, tossing in some chilis to amp up the heat, or lightening things up by skipping the cream altogether)? Check, check, check.

We love serving ours with a simple lemony arugula salad and a thick slice of crusty bread for dunking in that dreamy tomato sauce. But this would also be wonderful served with pasta, rice, quinoa…you name it. It’s one of those flexible recipes that promises to taste good with just about whatever you have on hand. So bring home some salmon filets, and let’s make dinner together!
