Say hello to my current and your soon to be, life-giving BFF . . . Creamy, dreamy, secretly healthy gingerbread lattes!
Honestly, Im not sure I want to drink my coffee any other way from now on?!
Especially at this time of year when I’m needing all of the coffee to try to do all the things (and then some!) please tell me I’m not the only one?!
This right here, is everything I want, all day every day on repeat (by IV) between now and Christmas . . . then on Christmas I’ll be wanting a double-double please and thank you.
Subtly sweet, seriously creamy, spiked with the perfect hit of espresso and a heart and belly-warming hum of gingerbread spice. It’s SOOOO good!
No one would ever know that this one also happens to be seriously good for you!
Packed with protein, naturally sweetened and loaded with gut healing goodness!
I won’t tell if you don’t!
Healthified or not, I can’t think of a better way to start, end or fill the day than cozied on the couch, binge-watching Christmas movies with a cup of this deliciousness! Which is where you’ll find me, on the couch, tonight at 830 pm . . . cozied up in my comfiest PJ’s watching “The Santa Clause” or “Home Alone” I cant decide which one Im feeling today?! But, you’re welcome to join me!
Serve it hot, serve it iced, however you choose to do it you really can’t go wrong!
Dairy free (if you want), BANANA FREE, DATE FREE, Sugar-free, Low Carb, Paleo, Keto & 100% Vegan friendly – so much to love I tell you and love it you will!
Seriously, so good! Starbucks who?!
Please note I like mine spicy so feel free to adjust accordingly …
