Enjoy this creamy, protein-packed maca latte made with non-dairy milk. Perfect for a morning pick-me-up or midday boost, this latte supports energy, hormone balance, and overall wellness that you're going to love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk*
- 1 tbsp maca powder
- 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener *
- 3 tbsp plant-based protein powder, vanilla* optional
- 1 tsp cacao powder optional
- ¼ tsp cinnamon optional
- ¼ tsp ashwagandha optional
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract optional
- ¼ cup hot water
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by warming 1 cup of almond milk (or milk of choice) in a small saucepan over low-medium heat until hot. Be sure to not boil the milk.
- While the milk is warming, combine the remaining dry ingredients of maca powder, sweetener, protein powder, cacao powder, cinnamon, and salt if you're using them in a mug and mix thoroughly.
- Slowly pour the hot water into the mug along with the vanilla extract and combine all ingredients until you get a paste-like mixture.
- Once the almond milk is warmed, slowly pour the milk into the mug, stirring continuously until smooth. Use a frother if you have one to create some foam. Adjust taste and consistency to your liking by adding additional sugar or water. Enjoy!
Notes
Any milk you prefer will work for this recipe. If keeping to vegan or plant-based, opt for a non-dairy milk like oat, coconut, or soy.
For the sweetener - feel free to use whichever sugar or sweetener you prefer or have on hand. Maple syrup works extremely well, but will increase the sugar content.
The protein powder is completely optional, but it does add to the flavor, consistency, and nutritional value of this latte. Any protein powder you have or enjoy should work well for this recipe, but I recommend sticking to either unflavored, vanilla, chocolate, or cinnamon flavored if possible.
