Treat yourself to this vanilla collagen oat milk latte. Its so sweet, warm and comforting, you’ll want to cozy up to this cuppa joe every morning and afternoon. Not to mention its also has collagen powder for beautiful skin and hair!
I can’t live without my morning caffeine hit be it black tea, matcha or coffee. I don’t have many vices but this would be one of them (and big bags of potato chips)!
But is it me or are coffee shop latte prices getting out of hand? Pay extra for flavors, pay extra for plant milks… Its too expensive to buy everyday so I try to make them more often at home for a fraction of the price.
With a blender, you can easily whip up a delicious vanilla oat milk latte in a few minutes time. And the bonus? You can add collagen for hair, skin, nails and joint support. That’s one special add-on that I haven’t seen at any coffee shop yet.
Also at home you can lower the amount of sweetener. Some of those special latte flavours in coffee shops are made with syrups that already have sugar in them so the barista can’t lower the amount of sugar even when you ask them to.
