Some of you may have caught on to my love of colorful beverages by now . . .

What is Moon Milk?
Read all about it in My Ultimate Guide to Moon Milk.
Just look at that beautiful color! And the best part? Blue Butterfly Pea Flowers (Clitoria ternatea) are packed with antioxidants, stress-relieving properties, and anti-inflammatory effects. What’s not to love?
Throw in some cooling and calming peppermint, magnesium-rich (sleep promoting!) sunflower seeds, and vitamin c and antioxidant-rich blueberries and you have yourself one doubly blue brew that is wholly magical and delicious.
This Blue Moon Milk is:
Packed with healthy nutrient dense ingredients.
Sleep promoting.
Stress reducing.
Anti-aging, anti-inflammatory.
Soothing, calming, relaxing.
Super flavorful.
Creamy and satisfying.
Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, nut-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free.
Tips for making Blueberry Moon Milk:
In a pinch, dried or freeze-dried blueberries work well as a substitution.
The sunflower seeds can be omitted or replaced with any seeds of choice. Hemp or pumpkin seeds work well.
The peppermint extract can be replaced with a food-grade peppermint essential oil.
For a sugar-free version, this sugar-free sweetener works great at replacing maple syrup.
Alternatively, raw honey or coconut sugar can replace the maple syrup.
To Make Iced Blue Moon Milk:
Blend all ingredients PLUS the addition of maple syrup/sweetener of choice.
Do not heat. Simply strain, then pour over ice.
Enjoy!
I truly hope you enjoy my take on this nighttime beverage with its roots in Ayurveda; and give the amazing Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Powder a spin yourself!
Enjoy. xo.

This gluten-free & vegan Double Blue Peppermint Moon Milk makes for one soothing & delicious antioxidant-rich brew perfect for those stressful days and sleepless nights! This healthy Mint Blueberry Moon Milk is made doubly blue with the addition of blue butterfly pea flower powder!
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond or oat milk
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions
To a blender add all of the above ingredients sans maple syrup and mint leaves.
Blend until smooth and uniform.
Optionally strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. (I do not do this as I don’t mind any larger bits of berries or seeds settling in the bottom of my cup).
Heat your moon milk mixture over low-medium heat on the stove-top.
Stir in maple syrup or sweetener of choice. Whisk gently until foamy and heated throughout.
Pour into mug(s) and optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves.
