Mornings that include a latte, complete with foamy frothed milk on top, are just better. You can’t convince me otherwise. And if that wasn’t enough, there are some extra bonuses. Making your own latte at home is SO much cheaper (what’s the price of a Starbucks latte now?), plus it can be a lot healthier, and tastes just as delicious.

The lattes I make are packed with protein, topped with frothy milk, and brighten my morning every single time. All you need are two ingredients for the base (three if you count water), and any optional extras you fancy to customize your latte to your liking.

Latte Frothers

First, let’s talk frothers. Frothers really are a game changer, and can give your lattes an extra boost of luxury and enjoyment. It’s a bit of an investment, but so worth it, and they can last for ages.

I’ve been using handheld frothers for ages, and love how small and portable they are (enough to even pack with you on vacation, spoken from experience!). I also have an electric frother, which honestly does make a real difference. My handheld frother gives me a bit of a froth, but my electric frother gives me inches of fluffy white frothiness (depending on the plant milk I’m frothing).

This is the Electric Milk Frother I’ve used and loved for years, and this is a brand of Handheld Frother that I also have used for years and really like.

The Easiest Protein Vegan Latte Recipes

Protein Latte

Protein Lattes are my basic, go-to latte. Since getting braces, it’s also been the latte I’m having on the daily. Matcha and turmeric powders can be a bit staining and I’m afraid for my clear braces (lol). I’m sure I’ll get back to them at some point though, as matcha and turmeric have amazing additional health benefits that come with their vibrant colours.

Matcha Vegan Latte

Matcha is for more than just Mondays. But I will say Mondays are particularly good days for it. The caffeine can help give that extra boost of energy to kickstart your week. Just add 1 teaspoon of matcha to your mug along with the protein powder in the above base recipe.

Turmeric Vegan Latte

Turmeric is so so good for you, and it’s so so easy to add to your latte! Just add 1/4 teaspoon to your mug along with the protein powder in the above base recipe. For extra goodness, you can sneak in a bit of black pepper to help increase the absorption of turmeric. And that bright yellow really brightens up any morning!

A Few Final Notes

Your protein powder and plant milk really make a difference to your lattes taste and froth. I like to use 1/2 scoop of flavored protein powder (Nuzest and Orgain are my go-tos), and 1/2 scoop of Complement’s Protein (which is unflavored – code BITESBYBEKAH10 gives you 10% all Complement products).

For me, mixing flavoured with unflavoured protein gives me the perfect balance of sweetness. But play around with what works best for you. Feel free to add any other sweeteners (maple syrup, etc.) and spices (cinnamon, ginger, etc), to add extra goodness to your morning mug!

For milk, I personally love Oat milk and Almond milk. Let me know if you want a full review of Plant Milks and which ones are best for lattes!
