Healthy caffeine-free latte and HOT CHOCOLATE recipe! 4 vegan hot drink recipes in one post!
Hi darlings on Steemit! I am back with a small suprise for you! This time I am going to share 4 recipes in one blog post!
Great isn´t it!:)
I have had some challenging days and nights with my baby-boy who just refused to SLEEP almost all nights long, and during the past few days, I have just been very busy getting some sleep and making all the house-work that have to be done somehow.
But, today I actually had some hours JUST FOR ME and created these 4 hot drinks, 2 of them are really my all time favourite drinks during the winter time. So I hope you will enjoy them too.;)
(I had all these drinks for my self, lucky me!)
Before I will show you my recipes, I just wanted to write a huge THANK YOU Sofia @isshappy who listed and featured me in her Top 10 Vegans on Steemit post! This made my week so much brighter!;)

Hot Chocolate Recipe
Note: I drink this vegan and sugar free hot chocolate drink every single day, I just can´t get enough!;)
Ingredients:
- 2-3 small dates or 1 medjoon date
- 1-1 1/2 cup plantbased milk (I always use oat milk)
- 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp raw cacao powder
- Vanilla
Directions:
- Soak the dates some hours or overnight.
- Blend all the ingredients except the vanilla in a blender for 2-3 minutes until no pieces from the dates are visible. The smoother the better.
- Heat the chocolate in a small pan. Wait until the first bubble shows up and than pour into 1 or 2 cups.
- Top with vanilla and enjoy!
Almond-Cinnamon Latte
If you have checked out my almond-cinnamon bliss balls recipe from a few days ago, you may guess from where I got the idea.;) I actually discovered it by accident when I blended some oat milk with the bliss balls- dough leftovers, and created this amazing and delicious almond-cinnamon latte.
Ingredients:
- 1 handful almonds
- 1 cup plantbased milk (me: oat milk)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon or gingerbread spices
- 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 1 tsp coconut nectar (or any other liquid sirup)
- vanilla
Directions:
- Roast the almonds at 200 °C for 10 minutes.
- blend all the ingredients until no almond-pieces are visible. (2-3 minutes)
- Heat until the first bubble, and enjoy warm!
Blue Latte
Beautiful vibrant blue latte for summer feelings.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plantbased milk
- 1 tsp blue spirulina powder
- 1 tsp coconut nectar
- vanilla
Directions:
- Heat the plantbased milk and blend it with all the other ingredients.
- Enjoy!
Blueberry Latte
Different... but great!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plantbasedmilk
- 1 tsp blueberry powder or 1 handful wild blueberries
- vanilla
- 1 tsp coconut nectar
Directions:
- Heat the plantbased milk and blend it with all the other ingredients.
- Enjoy!
That´s it! (I had to write it 2 times because I deleted it by accident the first time!)
Enjoy and I am sure these hot drinks will leave a smile on your face!
I wish you all a happy mini-friday night!

Looks amazing 😍 @sandrastarud we gotta try this 🙏🏼
Tack William! Kul att du tycker om dem;) Give me your feedback when you have tried them out!!
Oh I will, with Vanilla, does it work with "vaniljpulver"? Or do you refer to something else ? 🙌🏼
Jag använder alltid ren vanilj! Så det funkar såklart bra med vaniljpulver!😉😙
ahhhh maaaah gaaahd Niina!! I love you for posting these recipes. I forgot to save the chocolate recipe before and then I forgot to ask again.
That chocolate is the best I have had. Now I can make it every single day.

that spirulina latte looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I will try it and give you my feedback. did you try any of these as iced lattes? I live in South America and we are in summer now but I can't wait until winter to try these!!!
pd: your baby is so so cute!!!!
Aww thanks dear! I am sure it would work as iced latte as well! Try it out and let me know if you liked it iced. For me it is to cold to make it right now, I would wait until summer here in Europe haha! Have a great Friday sweetheart!😙
Thank you for the recipes, will definitely be trying them one day. My baby boy is almost 3 months old and it took me 4 days to finish writing my latest post! X
Oh I really know that situation haha! With my 19 months baby boy I take every minute I have alone and when he is asleep for things like steemit or Instagram. But sometimes.es there is just no time. Sending you a lot of love today! Kisses to your baby!😚
Wow, very colorful! Now, I fancy a hot chocolate! :)
This hot chocolate is the best you can get! I have even had people who aren't vegans that have tried it out and sayed it is even better than the normal non-vegan one with milk and sugar! So I really hope you will give it a try my dear!😉Wish you a happy weekend.🙏😊
I will soak some deglet nor dates during the night until tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't have any coconut oil, I think, I will leave it out. Secondly, I only have normal cocoa powder (not raw). Hope it is also ok to use it. :) Thanks for your recipe, looking forward to tomorrow. :D A good way to start into the weekend! :)
Oh I am so happy you want to try it out tomorrow! Great! And I also use normal cacao powder when I don't have the raw one. That's totally delicious too.😉The coconut oil is for some extra nutrients and good day, and it makes it a little more creamy! But it works without too👌Excited to get your feedback tomorrow!😘Don't forget to not boil the CHOCOLATE, only heat until the first bubble . Good night and have an awesome weekend darling!😚
also looking forward to my hot chocolate tomorrow! :D
And did you like it?;)
It was actually very nice! I also added some frothed milk. I will make a post about it tomorrow! :) Here a picture. :D Thanks for the recipe! :)
Oh this looks so amazing delicious! Want one cup right now!😊👌Thanks for your feedback and looking forward to your post about it tomorrow!😍Happy you liked it😉
