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!

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 & strain. Using a high-speed blender, blend the beet with the water. Strain out the pulp.

Ingredients

UnitsScale

1 small beet, peeled and roughly chopped (see notes)
1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for non-AIP)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (sub vanilla bean powder for AIP)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp maple syrup (omit for whole30)

Instructions

Add the beet to a small saucepan and cover with just enough water to cover the top of the beet. Bring to a low simmer for about 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool.
Using a high-speed blender, blend the beet with the cooking liquid. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the beet mixture through the strainer. Use a spoon to push down the beet pulp to draw out any excess liquid. Save the pulp to add to soups, and sauces, or mix it into the drink if desired.
To make a hot latte: Heat the milk in a medium saucepan until warm. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup at the end. Whisk until fully incorporated. Use a milk frother if desired to froth the latte. Pour the milk into the mug with the beet mixture and serve warm.
To make an iced latte: Combine the milk with the vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup. Use a milk frother to froth the milk. Add ice to a glass and pour in the milk and beet mixture. Serve chilled.

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?
