330 Calories, 14 grams of fat, and nearly 40 grams of sugar. That’s what we’re ordering when we indulge in a Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks. Sometimes we choose to indulge in naughty treats and stray from our clean eating habits, but usually we just recreate our fave guilty pleasures for one of many reasons:
a. It keeps us sane
b. Just like everyone else, we have cravings!
c. We would rather fit this healthy lifestyle into our lives than fit our lives into this healthy lifestyle
and d. We love experimenting in the kitchen!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 cup coffee, hot
1 cup skim milk (or your choice of dairy-free milk), heat/steamed/frothed
1 tsp molasses
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 Tbs maple syrup
pinch of nutmeg
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly!

If you’re feeling fancy…
Steam and froth your milk just like that smiley barista at Starbucks
or
Swap the skim milk for your choice of milk – coconut, almond, whole, etc
