Ingredients for Beetroot Lattes

Almond milk serves as the creamy base, offering a nutty undertone that complements the earthy beetroot. Beetroot powder is the star ingredient, providing color and nutrients. A little maple syrup adds natural sweetness without overpowering. Vanilla extract brings a smooth, aromatic depth. A pinch of ground cinnamon adds warmth and spice, while a dash of salt enhances all the flavors.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use a milk frother if you have one—it creates the perfect frothy finish.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup.
  • For a richer taste, try using a blend of almond milk and coconut milk.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your beetroot latte with a slice of toasted sourdough topped with avocado for a balanced breakfast. It also complements a light salad if you're having it as an afternoon pick-me-up. If you're feeling indulgent, enjoy it with a piece of dark chocolate.

Beetroot Lattes Recipe Walkthrough

Start by pouring your almond milk into a small saucepan. You’ll want to warm it over medium heat, keeping a close eye to ensure it doesn’t boil. Think gentle simmer, not rolling boil. Once it’s warm, sprinkle in the beetroot powder. This is where it gets fun—watch the milk turn a lovely shade of pink as you whisk it in.

Next, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and that tiny pinch of salt. Keep whisking until everything is combined and you’ve got a nice frothy top. The secret to good froth is in the wrist action, so whisk with enthusiasm!

Once it’s all mixed and frothy, carefully pour the vibrant latte into your favorite mug. And there you have it, ready to enjoy immediately while it’s still warm and inviting.
