Chef's Notes

  • Soy milk and butterfly pea powder are the secret nutrient powerhouse ingredients in this recipe.  Soy milk is an excellent plant based milk alternative that is loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
  • Butterfly pea powder not only brings the "wow" factor with its beautiful, blue hue; but, interestingly, the color is due to a specific kind of antioxidant called anthocyanins. These are the same antioxidants found in grapes and berries, which accounts for their similar color.  Anthocyanins, when consumed regularly, can help prevent chronic disease.
