Mix-n-match is the new cool. For attire, lifestyle, art and cuisine. The trend gave rise to this beautiful thing called fusion. There is a lot of debate surrounding fusion cuisine but the general consensus finds it innovative. The gods of food would probably be very pleased to hear that they have finally devised a method to drill veggies into children. Yes kids. Beware of broccoli coffee! Such a disgusting thing like broccoli to spoil your coffee you are thinking? Well, it might not be as bad as you are imagining it to be!
The name may not sound very appetizing but this method is the ideal way for you to consume your greens without rousing anarchy. Since you drink a lot of coffee and eat no broccoli, voila here’s a new drink in town. Australia’s principle research organization is to be blamed. The Hort innovation and CSIRO have developed this pre-made and packaged powder that undergoes a pre-treatment followed by a drying process. This helps to retain the nutrition, color, and flavor of the veggies. Looks like your worst nightmare has come true? Try it, you might not be as disheartened!

If you are visiting a nearby cafe be sure to ask for broccoli coffee or Broccolatte! Fancy, I know. Now your Broccolatte will obviously not be as delicious as your average lip-smacking Maharaja Burger but two tablespoons of this is reportedly equivalent to nearly five to six serves of unappetizing and gross veggies. Unless you put them in tacos or frittatas and top them with cheese, bacon and the like. If you find it very difficult to put it in your coffee and have a sip you can always use it in dips, baking, soups, and some snacks that are a major hit with kids especially. According to Australian scientists, an average Aussie is not consuming the recommended intake of veggies. And a lot of parents have been losing their sleep over it.

To all the people who call themselves caffeine addicts and write it on your Instagram bio- be prepared to change it to Broccolatte addict because it’s your green veggies and caffeine all in one cup. This was developed as part of a project that aims to make all the supposedly ugly food items edible and replete with nutrition. Health is a concept not completely lost on everyone and we shall drink to that, hopefully!
