Our Maple Balance Tonic Latte is a delicious way to turn your daily Balance Tonic into a cosy ritual.
Made with plant-based milk, warming cinnamon, a touch of pure maple syrup and a serving of Balance Tonic Menopause, it's simple enough for every day and perfect for the autumn months - whether you're looking for a gentle start to your morning or something comforting to sip as you wind down.
We've kept the maple syrup to just ½ teaspoon, giving you that lovely maple flavour without making the latte overly sweet.
Here's the recipe.
Maple Balance Tonic Latte
Serves: 1
Prep time: 2 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
-
200ml unsweetened almond milk
-
½ tsp pure maple syrup
-
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp vanilla extract, optional
Method
-
Warm the milk. Add your unsweetened almond milk to a small saucepan and gently heat until warm and steaming, but don't allow it to boil.
-
Take it off the heat. Remove your milk from the hob and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Add your Balance Tonic. Whisk 5g of Balance Tonic Menopause into the warm milk after heating, helping to best preserve the nutrients in the blend.
-
Add the flavour. Stir in ½ teaspoon of maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla, if using.
-
Make it frothy. Give everything a whisk or use a handheld milk frother until beautifully smooth and foamy.
-
Pour and enjoy. Finish with a little extra dusting of cinnamon & Balance Tonic, find your favourite mug and enjoy while warm.
*Exact nutritional values will vary depending on the plant-based milk and ingredients used.
Why Add Balance Tonic Menopause?
Our Balance Tonic Menopause blend was formulated specifically for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
Each 5g serving brings together superfoods, botanicals and essential vitamins and minerals, including KSM-66® Ashwagandha, baobab, hibiscus, wild blueberry, maca root, iodine from seaweed and vitamins B6, B12, D and K2.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, while vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Iodine supports normal thyroid function, while vitamins D and K contribute to the maintenance of bone metabolism.
And with 600mg KSM-66® Ashwagandha, Balance Tonic also brings an adaptogenic botanical traditionally used to support relaxation, emotional balance and general wellbeing.
It's one simple daily blend designed to slot into the routine that already works for you.
Why Add Balance Tonic After Heating?
Balance Tonic is wonderfully versatile. You can add it to water, smoothies, yoghurt and plenty of your favourite recipes.
For a warm latte like this one, we recommend heating your plant-based milk first and stirring in your 5g serving afterwards.
Adding it once the milk has been taken off the heat is a simple way to best preserve the nutrients while still enjoying a beautifully warm and comforting drink.
A little frother helps everything combine too - and gives you that café-style finish at home.
Make It Your Own
Want to switch things up? Try a sprinkle of nutmeg or ginger alongside the cinnamon for even more warming spice.
If almond milk isn't your favourite, you can swap it for another unsweetened plant-based milk. Just remember that the nutritional values can change quite significantly between different varieties.
Oat milk, for example, creates an extra-creamy latte but will generally contain more carbohydrates than unsweetened almond milk. Unsweetened soya milk can be a great alternative when you'd like a little more protein.
And if you're keeping an eye on sugar, always check the carton for unsweetened varieties, as many flavoured and sweetened plant milks contain added sugars.
Your Daily Balance, Made Delicious
Supporting your wellbeing doesn't have to mean adding another complicated step to your day.
Sometimes, it's simply about finding little rituals you genuinely look forward to.
With creamy plant-based milk, warming cinnamon, a hint of maple and your daily 5g serving of Balance Tonic Menopause, this latte takes just a few minutes to make.
Morning mug or evening wind-down - that's entirely up to you.
