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.
