Nourishing Lattes to Try This Winter
Posted on January 31 2023,
While coffee alone provides some health benefits, we can enhance the medicinal qualities of our morning drink by blending in supportive herbs, medicinal mushrooms, and adaptogens to create a latte that’s both nourishing and delicious.
Functional lattes also act as a wonderful coffee replacement altogether, which can be supportive for those who find coffee to be over-stimulating, anxiety inducing, or irritating to the digestive system.
Below, we’re sharing 5 Nourishing Latte Recipes to try this winter. Each latte incorporates adaptogenic herbs and functional ingredients tailored to supporting optimal brain function, increased energy levels, and balanced mood.
These recipes can either be made in a small saucepan over the stove, or in a hot-water safe blender like the Vitamix. If making over the stove, use a milk frother at the end to whip up the latte and create a foamy finish.
