This pink beet latte is an amazingly cute and tasty latte! It’s dairy-free, easy to make, and nutrient-dense.
Beautiful lattes are the best! We eat with our eyes first and a gorgeous latte with beautiful color and some swirly milk is always a fun treat. And with Instagram making lattes like golden milk and matcha lattes more and more popular, I think we’re all into the idea of yummy and healthy drinks.
This beautiful pink beet latte isn’t just yummy and pretty, but it’s nutrient-dense with the addition of fresh beets! Now that’s a good latte!
The Ingredients for this recipe
- Beets. Beets are rich in color and nutrients and make the perfect base for this latte!
- Fresh ginger. This adds a touch of spice to the drink.
- Cinnamon and vanilla extract.
- Coconut milk. You can also use almond milk!
How to make this pink beet latte
- Simmer the beet until fork tender. Add the beet to a small saucepan and cover with just enough water to cover the top of the beet. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool.
- Blend. Using a high-speed blender, blend the beet with 1/2 cup of water until smooth.
- Strain. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large mug and pour the beet mixture through the strainer and into the mug. Use a spoon to push down the beet pulp to draw out any excess liquid. Save the pulp to add to soups, sauces, or mix it into the drink if desired.
- Combine the latte. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan until warm. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and honey. Whisk until fully incorporated. Use a milk frother if desired to froth the latte.

If I use frozen beets can I just make this like a thick smoothie and use all of it with the rest of the ingredients or is it best to strain it.
You don’t have to strain it if you’d like it to be thick! 🙂
If you have a juicer can you just juice the beet? Or is it essential to blend the beet?
That would probably work fine! Just make sure you’d still have enough liquid.
My Doctor keeps saying no fat! No liver! Eat more veggies to help your liver! But I’m having such a hard time with lots of veggies causing lots of gas…

I’ve reacted to collagen in the past, so wondered if I could leave the collagen peptides out?
You can 🙂
I followed the recipe exactly (with coconut milk) and loved my hot drink! Will be making again!!
