Lattes no longer consist of just espresso and hot steamed milk. Now, a variety of trendy lattes fill the menus at our favorite coffee shops, with the rise in popularity of chia lattes, golden lattes, matcha lattes and more.

Beet Latte Recipe
1 small beet
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp. honey
½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Wrap the beet in foil, pierce it with a fork a few times and bake it for 20-30 minutes, or until soft at 425 degrees. Blend all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth and then strain the liquid using a strainer or cheese cloth. Add the liquid to a medium pot over medium heat and continuously whisk until it is warm and foamy. Pour the drink into a cup, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!
