Chai Tea Almond Milk Latte

I am loving these crisp fall days! There is nothing better than a chilly morning and a warm cup of deliciousness in your hand. Normally, my warm cup is coffee, but I also like to mix things up, like with this Chai Tea Almond Milk Latte. Yeah, it’s pretty amazing!

In high school I worked at a little tea and coffee shop and the owner’s make the best authentic Indian chai! Every once in awhile I get those strong cravings for it’s sweet goodness, but man is it sweet!  I like to create healthier versions of my favorite treats so I can eat them more often!

This chia tea almond latte is smooth, creamy and sweet AND you can make it at home for far less than $4 a cup. Stevia and almond milk keep it light, while still flavorful. Unless you have a handheld frother, this won’t foam up like a coffeehouse latte, but it’s still delicious. Put on some John Mayer and you are on the way to relaxation land! You can also let the latte cool and then refrigerate if you prefer an iced latte. Drink straight and cold or blend with ice for a cold treat!
