A caffeine-free latte made with beetroot powder, spices and frothed plant-based milk - not only pretty in pink, but also high in antioxidants and many other health benefits. Good for beauty and the brains.


Beetroot lattes make a great morning drink as it's perfect to boost your stamina, endurance and energy for the day.




WHAT'S BEETROOT POWDER?

Beetroot powder is made from freeze-dried concentrated beetroot juice, blitzed into a fine powder.



LET'S TALK BEETS

As mentioned beetroot has many health benefits, some of these include:

  • Beetroot are rich in a group of antioxidants called Betalain, which give them that gorgeous vibrant colour.

  • Betalain may help reduce oxidative stress and aid the body's natural detoxification process.

  • They are nutrient-dense and high in vitamins and minerals.

  • They also have anti-inflammatory properties

  • They are good for your blood and cardiovascular health.

  • They are also good for stamina, energy and muscle recovery.




TO MAKE THIS YOU NEED
  • beetroot powder

  • oat or almond milk, unsweetened

  • ground cinnamon

  • ground ginger

  • nutmeg

  • vanilla extract

  • (optional) soft date or date syrup to sweeten or sweetener of choice


TO BLEND

A lot of high-speed blenders can't take hot liquids, therefor check before you start making this.

But fear not here are 2 different options:


OPTION - IF YOU BLENDER CAN TAKE HOT LIQUIDS

Heat the oat milk until hot and blend all together in an high-speed blender until frothy.

I used my Vitamix as it can take hot liquids.


OPTION - IF YOU BLENDER CAN NOT TAKE HOT LIQUIDS

First blend everything together and then heat it up on the stove top on low, until hot.

Using this technique will however result in less froth, but will still taste good.
