Now trending: colourful caffeine Check whether or not its’s good for you

Have you noticed brightly coloured lattes making an appearance at your local cafe? With everything from upbeat pink beetroot to vibrant green matcha, these pretty drinks certainly have that health-halo appeal. But are they worth the hype? Probably not, according to dietitian Catherine Saxelby, of foodwatch.com.au. “You’d be better off eating the original whole beet or taro root or pea and getting all the fibre present,” she says. So, there’s no need to give up your beloved coffee – get your vitamins and minerals from whole fruit and veg instead.
