Endurance athlete and podcast host Rich Roll is known for his plant-based diet and healthy living. Whether you’re keeping a focus on nutrition or simply want a warm cup of something post-run, you’ll love Roll’s latte recipes from The Plantpower Way. He suggests taking the time to select a special cup you enjoy holding in your hands, noting, “One of the great pleasures of life is a favourite mug.”
You’ll need a strainer or cheesecloth for these. I find that substituting paste or powdered ginger or turmeric if I didn’t have any root handy works just fine.
Mocha Latte
Roll calls this a “creamy blend of cacao and coffee topped with a velvety layer of nut milk froth.”
Ingredients
4 cups organic fresh-brewed coffee (can use regular or decaf)
1/4 vanilla bean
5 Brazil nuts
2 tsp cacao nibs
1 tsp honey
pinch of cinnamon
Preparation
Brew a pot of your favourite coffee.
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high for one minute.
Strain the mixture through cheesecloth or a fine strainer, pour into your favourite cup and enjoy. For an iced version, add three cups of ice and blend again.
Ginger Turmeric Latte
This frothy drink is full of anti-inflammatory and stomach-soothing properties. “Ginger works wonders for digestion, while the nutrient-rich hemp seeds blend to give you a nice and creamy protein-packed drink,” writes Roll.
Ingredients
2 cups water
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled (ginger paste works well, available at most grocery stores)
1-inch piece of turmeric root, peeled
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1 tsp honey
dash of cardamom
Preparation
Bring the water to a boil.
Using a fine hand grater, grate both the ginger and the turmeric.
Add all the ingredients, except the cardamom, plus the boiling water, to a blender and blend on high for one minute.
Pour the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth and serve. Garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom.
