Superfoods are nutritionally dense ingredients that can have a wide variety of health benefits. When you use these ingredients and mix them with steamed milk, you get a 'superfood latte.' Cheers!

How do I make a Blume superfood latte?
Easy peasy! Mix 1-2 teaspoons of Blume powder with a splash of hot water. Top with one cup of steamed or frothed 'milk', sweeten to taste, and and voila! Latte perfection. To make an iced latte, top with ice and cold milk.
For more detailed instructions, check out our how-to-make page here!
What else can I use the latte blends for?
You can cook with them, bake with them, smoothie with them, oatmeal with them, pancake with them, energy ball with them. Here are some recipes to get ya started!
Are Blume products nut, gluten and dairy free?
Our blends do not contain gluten, nuts or dairy and we currently do not manufacture in a facility that processes these ingredients. However, it is important to note our products are not certified gluten, nut, or dairy free, which means that we do not perform additional third party testing for allergens.
That said, there are a couple of discontinued Blume products (our old formulation of Nut Nog and our Superfood Nut Butter) that contained nuts but were processed in a separate facility from our core collection. We always recommend checking the ingredients on the back of our pouches to be extra safe!
Are Blume products sugar free?
Our Oat Milk Chai, Rose London Fog, Turmeric, Beetroot and Matcha Coconut latte blends are sugar free. The rest of our latte blends are refined sugar free, and contain 2g of natural sugar or less per serving.
SuperBelly is totally sugar free! Sugar can be inflammatory to your gut, so we've lightly sweetened SuperBelly with stevia for good gut feelings and happy sipping.
Are Blume blends organic certified?
Yes! Our superfood latte blends are certified organic by CCOF. Nothing but the best in our blends 🌱
Which Blume products are caffeine free?
Looking for a new 24/7 ritual without the caffeine jitters? We've got you! Here's a link to view our caffeine-free collection.
FYI -Matcha Coconut is our only truly caffeinated blend, with ~65mg of caffeine per cup. Blends containing cacao will have a *little* bit of caffeine from the cacao powder, but only the equivalent of eating a square or two of chocolate. All flavours of SuperBelly are completely caffeine free!
How many servings are in a pouch?
Each superfood latte pouch has 25 servings of loose powder. We don't use fillers, meaning a little goes a long way!
Each pouch of SuperBelly contains 15 single-serve sachets.
Is your packaging compostable?
At the moment we use plastic packaging for all of our products. We know that isn't ideal, so we've partnered with an organization called Clean Hub to become Plastic Neutral. This means that the amount of plastic we create is being collected and diverted from our oceans by our collection partner. You can learn more about Clean Hub and our work together here.
Compostable packaging isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and we're so grateful to be working with Clean Hub while we continue to explore alternative packaging options that work for our products.
What's the shelf life of Blume products?
Great question. Our products are shelf stable and good for 18-24 months when stored in a cool, dry spot. Once opened, we recommend consuming your blends within 6-8 months for optimal freshness.
Where can I find nutritional info?
The nutritional info for any of our products can be found on their respective product pages, as one of the last photos in the carousel!
Which products do you recommend for pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Great question! While we always recommend that you chat with a trusted healthcare professional before adding anything new into your routine, SuperBelly and our Beetroot, Turmeric, Rose London Fog, and Matcha Coconut superfood latte blends are our top recommendations!
How do I insert and detach the Milk Frother whisks?
There are four little pieces of black plastic that protrude on the inner area of the milk frother base, and you'll want to make sure that they are accurately lined up with the openings on the milk frother whisk.
You'll also want to make sure that you're leaving a few millimeters of space between the base of the attachment and the body of the milk frother when you're inserting them to prevent them from getting stuck! Inserting the attachments too far can lead to damage over time.
If your milk frother whisk has been inserted correctly, you shouldn’t need much force to detach it. Using too much force when pulling the attachment out of the base, especially if the whisk isn’t properly aligned, can cause the internal mechanisms to break. If your milk frother breaks due to incorrect handling or too much force, we unfortunately won't be able to support with a return or replacement.
If you’re having trouble getting your frother attachments unstuck, please send an email to our Customer Success team at hello@itsblume.com for support before using more force.
What is your Recipe Book and how do I get one?
Our superfood latte blends are microground so you can go beyond lattes to boost your favorite recipes at home. With every order we include a FREE digital Recipe Book with over 80 pages of simple, superfood-boosted recipes. Download your Recipe Book in your order confirmation email.
Do you wholesale Blume?
You bet we do! We work with a variety of retail partners including cafés, gift basket providers, smoothie bars, retail boutiques, yoga studios, and organic grocery stores. Interested? Let's chat.

How long does shipping take?
Depending on the destination, orders are generally delivered 7-10 business days from the shipment date. A quick heads up that this does not include processing time in our warehouse, and pre-orders are subject to additional wait times based on the delivery estimate on the product page.
We use Canada Post* as our shipping partner for most Canadian orders, and UPS/USPS for most US orders.
*Note: In response to the ongoing Canada Post strike, we've transitioned to Purolator for all Canadian shipments until Canada Post is operational again. It's Team Blume's top priority to make sure that orders arrive as quickly as possible in the days and weeks to come!
What is your shipping protection policy?
We work with trusted shipping partners to ensure your order is in good hands, from the time it leaves our warehouse to the moment it’s delivered to your door. To offer a little extra peace of mind in the event that your order is lost, damaged, or stolen, we have an optional shipping protection service available for all orders, at a fixed rate of $1.50 to $3.50 depending on your order value.
- An order is considered “lost” if your shipping address has been verified with our Customer Success team and three business days from the delivery date have passed and no delivery or update has been made, or if your order has been in transit with no tracking updates for 7 business days.
- An order is considered “stolen” if our shipping partner provided a proof of delivery photo that matches your address and three business days from the delivery date have passed. Please make sure to check with other members of your household who might have collected your mail before making a claim.
- An order is considered “damaged” if your package has been mishandled in transit, resulting in broken or unusable products. Photos of the shipping packaging and damaged products are required to submit a claim.
Our shipping protection service does not cover orders delivered to incorrect or incomplete addresses entered at checkout, or items that were damaged after delivery. However, our customers always come first, and we’ll try our best to work with you to make it right.
All shipping protection claims must be made within 14 days of the last tracking update. To report a shipping issue or file a claim, please connect with our Customer Success team at hello@itsblume.com.
