This strawberry latte is smooth and refreshing, made with a simple strawberry sauce, your favorite milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. It’s refined sugar-free and easy to make paleo and vegan.

Ingredients

Strawberry sauce:

  • 1 cup (130 grams) strawberries fresh, or defrosted frozen
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assembly:

  • 3 tablespoons strawberry sauce
  • ice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cup strong coffee
  • sweetener optional, I use 2 tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Place all the strawberry sauce ingredients in a blender. Process until no large chunks remain (it doesn’t need to be 100% smooth).
    1 cup (130 grams) strawberries, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pour into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stir frequently, and simmer for about 3 minutes. It’ll thicken very quickly, but don’t let it thicken so much that it becomes jam. If it’s too thick, it’ll be hard to stir in the drink. Cool completely before using in the drink.
  • Fill the glass about half-way with ice.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons strawberry sauce (the recipe yields about 1/3 cup) into the bottom of the glass. Refrigerate leftover strawberry sauce for up to 4 days.

  • To make neat layers, place a spoon upside down near the strawberry layer and gently pour the milk over the back of the spoon. Then do the same for the coffee; don’t rush it or it’ll muddy the drink.
    1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice, 1/2 cup (120 ml) cup strong coffee
  • Serve. I like to mix it and add 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.

Notes

  • If vegan, use plant-based milk.
  • If paleo, use unsweetened cashew or almond milk without any additives or other funky stuff. It should just be nuts + water + salt.
