Gingerbread Latte
Nutrition
I’m always looking for ways to make a healthier version of a drink or food and make it vegan and making it fit my macros. Here is a version of a ginger bread latte, caffeine free and with a little maca for health boost! I hope you guys enjoy!
Grocery List
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup cashew milk
- 1 heaping Tbsp Dandy Blend
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp if a full tsp is too hard-core)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Maple syrup, to sweeten (I used 1/2 tsp)
- Optional: 1 tbsp nut butter or hemp seeds or 1 tsp of maca
Instructions
Dandy Blend is a great alternative to a caffeine free coffee.. You can add more of it for a stronger coffee taste.
- Heat up water, coconut milk and molasses
- Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and maca or not butter if wanted
- Stir in Dandy Blend and maple syrup and simmer for 5 min
- Enjoy!

Dandy Blend is so versatile that, depending on how much powder you use, it can be everything from a pleasant, nutty roasted tea to a rich, strong espresso. It also is the easiest way to get the benefits of dandelion root into your diet. Add one spoonful in a cup of hot or cold liquid, stir, and it is ready to drink. It makes a particularly good iced coffee for use in warm weather.
The Conclusion
You can add vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips to add a bit more flavor if the simple recipe isn’t enough.
Enjoy you this any way you want and feel free to substitute the milk with other plant based milks.
I find that cashew milk foams the best for me.
Bon Appetite!
Quick tip:
Winter is always more bearable with a hug in a mug.
