Easy & Quick Beet Latte Recipe – made from Whole Raw Beetroot (plant-based)
Enjoy this pink beetroot latte with an earthy flavor of beets, naturally sweet taste and beautiful color! This beet latte recipe is made with whole raw beets and the steamed plant-based milk that you add to your mug makes it creamy and also soothes the taste of the beetroot juice.
Enjoying this pink beet latte in the morning instead of (or in addition to) your morning coffee warms the entire body and is a nice way to give yourself a healthy start to the day. It is a super easy recipe to follow.
If you are a regular coffee drinker this is not your usual coffee but rather a delicious drink that gives you a natural energy boost. Here is how you make it:
I used to make my beet latte with beetroot powder. It may be the easiest way to make one, but as it is not always easy to come by, and as using fresh beets is this easy, I prefer this recipe to the powder version. I also use oat milk barista edition but you can of course use your favorite choice of milk. Use a milk frother or any hand held whisk tools to steam your milk. I have one that heats and steams the milk at the same time. If you have one that only steams it I recommend that you heat up the milk first so it does not make your beet latte cold.
The taste of beets is made sweeter and more round with the addition of freshly squeezed orange juice, a dash of walnut oil and the steamed oat milk. The full recipe can be found in the recipe card. It does not contain any additional sweetners as I find the beet mixture and milk to be sweet enough. But if you wish to add more sweetness without using added sugar you can sweeten it further with maple syrup or of course simply use your sweetener of choice. But I would recommend that you try it without first to see if it is sweet enough.
I hope you try this beetroot latte recipe the next time you are in the mood for a delicious pink drink. If you make it I would love to hear from you, please give a star rating or write a comment to let me know what you think.
