Skinny Vanilla Latte 70Kcal Zero Sugar

I love making my own coffee drink recipe, I share so many options with you lately, pumpkin spice chai latte, pumpkin latte, and now this! The reason why I want to share more homemade latte recipes with you is simple. They are delicious, healthier, and cheaper. So today I am sharing with you an easy way to make a low-calorie vanilla latte at home.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Strong Brewed Coffee – I have a Nespresso machine so I brew 2 strong espressos to make one large latte. It’s about 1/3 cup of strong brewed coffee from a coffee press or filter coffee machine. Vanilla Stevia Drops – You can of course buy sugar-free vanilla syrup but most are sweetened with artificial sweetener. So my favorite option is to use stevia drops flavored with natural vanilla. These drops have no sugar but sweetened the drink perfectly while adding a strong and natural vanilla flavor. Erythritol – This is another natural granulated sweetener that I add to black coffee to boost its sweetness. In combination with stevia, it achieves the same sweetness as the vanilla syrup from Starbuck coffee without the sugar. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk – This almond milk is sweetened with vanilla. It guarantees an awesome vanilla flavor in your drink.

How To Make Skinny Vanilla Latte

It takes less than 5 minutes to make a flavorsome vanilla latte. Let me guide you through the recipe. Whatever method you choose to prepare your coffee, just make sure you make strong black coffee. In fact, a latte contains lots of milk and if your coffee is pale and light, the drink won’t taste good at all.

Serving

I like to serve my drink with grated vanilla pods on top. This is fancy, and you don’t have to do so to enjoy the vanilla flavor of the drink. Other ideas to add on the foam are a pinch of:

Vanilla Seeds Cinnamon

Allergy Swaps

Below are some allergy swaps to help you adapt this recipe if needed:

Nut-Free – You can replace almond milk with oat milk or soy milk. Both contain more calories but they are very good for you higher in protein for soy, and higher in carbs for oat so it’s a perfect post-workout option. Sugar-Alcohol-Free – You can swap the erythritol for 1 or 2 teaspoons of maple syrup. It’s a natural unrefined sugar that tastes great in coffee.
