Whole30 Latte

This Whole30 Almond Milk Latte is paleo, dairy-free and comes with no added sweetener. Delicious and the perfect healthy breakfast drink for your next Whole30.

Up your Whole30 breakfast game with this almond milk latte recipe: 

Here we are starting a new year on another Whole30. Every time that I do a Whole30 I tell myself it’s the last time I’m going to do one.

Probably because A. It kinda sucks (in a John Mellencamp hurts-so-good kinda way) and B. Because I think I am “cured” from ever letting my diet get poor and will forever, never-ever go back to eating sugar and overload on low-quality dairy.

Yyeahhh…

So here we are on another round of Whole30.

I’ve never been a black coffee girl, probably since I don’t really “do” caffeine but I do like having a warm cup of something in the mornings.

How do I make coffee taste better on Whole30?

Usually, it’s my own Smith-Style Bulletproof Coffee concoction that you can find HERE but when I’m on a Whole30 the maple syrup is out. So I’m left with coffee and coconut oil which I’m not all that crazy for.

Enter clean / Whole30 compliant almond milk from the New Barn.

In my book, it’s a game changer for dairy-free latte recipes. On all levels.

Not only is it clean of all of the junky thickeners and additives that most other brands use, it simply tastes so much better. 

It tastes like, well, it tastes like almond milk. What almond milk is SUPPOSED to taste like. Make sure to use their UNSWEETENED version though as that is the version that is compliant.

And guess what? It gets frothy. That’s right, froth people. Like a real latte from Starbucks. Yep, I have created a Whole30 almond milk latte that I actually like WAY better than Starbucks! This is the point I’d add a “mic drop”, but that’s just way too 2015 for this girl. 😉

Feel free to add some cinnamon to this tasty dairy-free breakfast treat too.

Enjoy and Happy New Year everyone!

How to make almond milk latte:

This Whole30 almond milk latte is just 4 ingredients!

Coffee, coconut oil, almond milk and a pinch of cinnamon. All you need to do is add all these ingredients to a tall measuring cup and blend until nice and frothy! No fancy milk foamer needed.

Making your own better-than-Starbucks almond milk latte is that easy!

Tips for making this dairy-free almond milk latte recipe: 

  • Make sure to use UNSWEETENED almond milk for a Whole30 Compliant Almond Milk Latte recipe.
  • Use a tall measuring cup to incorporate some air and get the perfect froth.
  • This dairy-free latte is delicious served hot, but you can also serve it over ice, or you can add in some ice cubes after blending and serve it as a frappe!

Variations on this Almond Milk Latte Recipe: 

  • For a Whole30 Gingerbread Latte, add a pinch of nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. 
  • Feel free to toss a 1/2 inch piece of vanilla bean to the blender for making a Whole30 Vanilla Latte.
  • Looking for more Whole30 approved almond milk brands? Check out this list. 

FAQ: 

Can I make my own almond milk? 

Yes, you can make your own almond milk (here’s a good recipe) but I make enough of my own stuff already and don’t need to add more to that list.

How many calories are in one Whole30 Almond Milk Latte? 

One dairy-free Whole30 Latte has 265 calories, 1 g carbs, 1 g protein and 29 g of healthy fats!

    I had made bulletproof coffee a few times prior to whole30 with coconut oil and butter but never really loved it. Since starting whole30 I’d been drinking my coffee black or with just a splash of almond milk, but your recipe made me decide to mix it up. This morning I used coffee, coconut oil, Califia almond milk, a bit of clarified butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon – I don’t have an immersion blender so I used a food processor – and Holy. Cow. It is so good. Thank you!

      Yay!! Thank you so much for the glowing review. I was in the same boat, I tried a few different versions and just wasn’t crazy about any of them… so I decided to take matters into my own hands! lol

    I’m slightly confused, the ingredients are listed as: Organic Almondmilk (Spring Water, Organic Almonds), Organic Maple Syrup, Organic Acacia Gum, Sea Salt
    I thought maple syrup and acacia gum were not allowed on the Whole30.

      Well you get the benefits of the oil itself but it also helps fill you up a bit longer and for me it eliminates wanting any snacks between breakfast and lunch. Also I’ve read that the fat from the oil helps metabolize the caffeine slower so you don’t have this highs and lows you can often get with caffeine. 🙂

    Very good just tried! Silly question, but the almond milk cools it off a bit so I had to nuke it to warm it back up. Do you warm the almond mil ahead of mixing? Being a half and half + Sweet leaf girl before whole 30, this is going to help tremendously!

    Hey! I’ve been following you on Instagram for awhile and knew you’d be a great resource for a Whole30 coffee drink. I used your recipe above as the jumping off point for my coffee drink. I don’t have clean almond milk, and haven’t made my own batch yet, so I used some of my Nutpods French Vanilla non-dairy creamer. IT FROTHS LIKE A REAL LATTE! I’m ECSTATIC to have found a coffee drink that a) needs no sweetener for me to drink it and b) resembles a coffeehouse bev I can make at home. I knew I was going to miss my Bulletproof-type coffee drink on the Whole30 but this is the PERFECT replacement. THANK YOU!!!

    Tried this for the first time. Not totally on board yet. Not sure I like the oiliness of it. I will try again with hopes of liking it better. I’m thinking I need a smaller cup (made a full cup) so the ratio might be better.

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
