Five Healthy Superfood Latte Recipes

Five Healthy Superfood Latte Recipes to add to your routine!

I am loving the fact that more coffee shops in the city are now starting to serve different kinds of lattes on their menu. I’m all for the caffeine jolt when I need it, but more often than not I just want something warm and delicious to sip on. I’ve been making myself “superfood lattes” at home for some time now using warm almond milk and my blender (works like a damn charm). But walking into a store and paying like $7 for one, what’s better than that? 😉

Below are my go-recipes for my FAVORITE Healthy Superfood Lattes. They all have different benefits, so take a peak at those facts below. Some of these are great to replace coffee with, while others are perfect for a cozy, after dinner wind-down drink before bed; that’s not wine ;).
