A Healthy Vanilla Latte You Can Make At Home

It’s not unusual to think that eating clean means giving up some of the things you love to eat and drink. What you find out though is there are a lot of alternatives that are better for you and are just as, if not more, tasty!

One of my favorites is this Healthy Vanilla Tea Latte. In fact, I shared this with a friend who told me he and his wife like this better than the latte they used to get at Starbucks! Big plus because it’s a lot lower in calories and a lot lower in cost too 😉

Make It Yourself

What you need:

  • Green or herbal tea. I use Arbonne detox tea which has a nice subtle peppermint flavor and helps support elimination organs like your liver. 
  • Cinnamon which is great for weight loss and adds a nice flavor to your latte.
  • Turmeric which is excellent for reducing inflammation among a host of other things. 
  • 1/2 cup Almond milk (you can also use coconut or cashew milk)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder. I recommend Arbonne Vegan protein powder which provides 10g of plant based protein (per scoop) and tastes amazing!  

First boil water and steep your hot tea. Next add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1/2 cup of Almond milk to your blender. Add the tea, sprinkle cinnamon and Turmeric and blend until it’s “frothy”. Pour into your favorite cup, sprinkle some extra cinnamon on top and enjoy!

This healthy latte is low in calories, high in protein and is great for your health. It’s a perfect way to warm up or start your day. Actually, it’s good just about anytime.

As you introduce more healthy foods into your diet you’ll be amazed how enjoyable they are. In no time you’ll find it easy to replace habits that are currently working against you with better choices that help you stay healthy.

Give this Healthy Vanilla Latte a try and let me know what you think in the comments below. If you have any other clean eating recipes you’d like to share please send them in.

To your health,

Steve

4 Simple Things That Lead to Good Health

  It All Adds Up I recently went to the doctor’s for my annual check-up and I got a clean bill of health! While checking out I noticed a sign with four simple things anyone can do to stay healthy at any age. It occurred to me that I do all of those things so I thought I’d share them with you here in this live video. Four Things! 1 – Move Even moderate exercise on a consistent basis can have a big impact on your health. Look for fun things to do on the weekend that keep you moving and active. I like bike riding, skiing, running, and disc golf! 2 – Get enough sleep Have a solid bed time to help ensure you get enough rest for your body to repair and refresh. Most sleep professionals say 7-8 hours is good for adults . 3- Eat real food Avoid eating processed foods and foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce. Generally, these don’t contain the nutrients your body needs for optimal health. 4 – uh….oh no I forgot # 4! Ok so you’ll notice I forgot # 4 (thank goodness my doc wasn’t testin...

The 5 Best Supplements for Health and Wellness

  Why supplement? You can get a lot of nutrients from raw food however when food is cooked it becomes less nutritious. Also over farming degrades what was once nutrient dense soil. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SUPPLEMENT – Quality – Source – Bio-availability – Delivery Method OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS For heart health, eye health, may help with arthritis, ADHD, Alzheimer’s Dementia and depression. Krill is generally the most potent and cleanest source of Omega 3. PROBIOTICS For gut health. Delivery method is huge here because most supplements only deliver a small fraction of live probiotics to your intestines. Many die in stomach acid. Look for liquid forms or technology designed to protect live bacteria through the acidic environment of the stomach. VITAMIN D Vitamin D is a hormone and plays an important role in over 650 functions in the body. While we can make our own most people are deficient. For energy, immunity and bone density.
