Notes
Expert Tips
- Espresso: If you don’t need this to be caffeine free, you can always add a shot of espresso to the mixture. Keep in mind, it won’t be detoxing your liver, but it will still be a creamy, delicious pink latte (with extra flare).
- Beetroot Powder: If you have beetroot powder and would prefer to use it instead of a whole beetroot, use 1 tbsp of the powder.
- Dairy: This pink latte is vegan and dairy-free. If you prefer regular dairy, you can substitute regular milk for almond milk.
- Iced Pink Latte: If you want to make an iced version, don’t heat or froth the milk, and instead add the cold milk directly to the blender.
