Restorative & Delicious
What’s more soothing and comforting than a warm, frothy latte, sprinkled with organic cinnamon, swirled with a dash of vanilla, and is full of protein and minerals? This Restorative Latte with Cinnamon Vanilla and Protein has become my favorite mid-day and evening drink because it helps give me a boost in energy to get through the remainder of my day, while also providing the essential amino acids and minerals to help me unwind and relax at night. The taste of this latte is mildly sweet due to the mineral whey, and may be a little more or less sweet, depending on the type of milk you choose. The addition of the cinnamon and vanilla gives it a very comforting and fulfilling taste, making it the more subtle cousin of a traditional vanilla latte.
Great Coffee Alternative
Instead of grabbing that second cup of coffee in the afternoon, I started to prepare this latte to give my body what it truly needs. My Restorative Latte with Cinnamon Vanilla and Protein is full of bioactive electrolytes and minerals from mineral whey. It is also high in protein and rich in amino acids courtesy of hydrolyzed collagen.
Fun fact- when our body is craving sweets or short-lived energy from caffeine, often what the body is really asking for is more protein, which will help stave off those cravings and provide quality, long-lasting energy.
Who Should Drink This Restorative Latte
Because this Restorative Latte is so hydrating and protein-rich, it is perfect for:
- Athletes to help with nerve function, muscle contraction, tissue repair and recovery
- Pregnant women to ensure a well-balanced, mineral and protein-rich diet, and
- Postpartum moms who are healing their bodies while trying to get through another day on virtually no sleep.
I enjoyed drinking this Restorative Latte during my third pregnancy and am currently still drinking it two weeks postpartum.
Everything in this latte is high quality and replenishing, so it is really great for anyone looking for a way to restore or maintain their nutrient reserves, heal their gut, and support their health and wellness from the inside out.
