• This one is for @dmoore or anyone else who craves a latte:

      If you’re craving a latte but want a healthier alternative—whether you’re trying to cut down on sugar, dairy, or caffeine—there are plenty of satisfying options. Here are some ideas based on different health goals:

      1. Lower Sugar Alternatives

      • Unsweetened latte with cinnamon or vanilla extract: Skip the flavored syrups and add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a few drops of vanilla.

      • Use natural sweeteners: Swap sugar or syrups with stevia, monk fruit, or a small amount of honey or maple syrup.

      2. Dairy-Free Options

      • Almond milk latte

      • Oat milk latte

      • Coconut milk latte
        Choose unsweetened, fortified versions for fewer calories and added nutrients.

      3. Lower Caffeine Alternatives

      • Matcha latte: Offers a mild caffeine boost with added antioxidants.

      • Chai tea latte (unsweetened): Black tea with warming spices—opt for a version made with tea bags instead of syrups.

      • Golden milk (turmeric latte): Made with turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and a milk alternative—anti-inflammatory and comforting.

      4. Cold Latte-Like Options

      • Iced coffee with almond milk and cinnamon

      • Iced dandelion root “latte”: Tastes somewhat like coffee but is caffeine-free and liver-friendly.

      5. Protein-Boosted Alternatives

      • Protein latte (“proffee”): Mix a shot of espresso with an unsweetened protein shake or powder blended into milk.

      • Collagen latte: Add collagen peptides to your coffee for skin and joint support.
