    This super thick Coconut Beetroot Latte is reminiscent of a hot cup of chocolate just minus the chocolate and the milk. Ehh. I know it’s a stretch but I’m telling you it’s good and will hit the spot on a cold night. It’s also made with nutrient dense beets and other healthy spices like turmeric and ginger. This tastes so good that you’ll forget that you are drinking beets and it’s good for you!

    Coconut Beetroot Latte is a surprisingly healthy drink in a shocking color of deep red. This super simple beet power recipe can be made in less than 10 minutes. This recipe suits the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), Paleo, Vegan, Whole30 and allergy friendly diets.

    How to make a beetroot latte.

    This is a ridiculously simple recipe. Seriously, dump all the ingredients into a saucepan. Heat. Done!

    The beetroot powder makes this recipe super easy. There’s no messy prep, cooking or cleaning. I like to eat beets and certainly like the health benefits that come with them but boy, they are messy.

    Beets turn everything magenta including all my white plates, counters and serving ware. While I’m not ready to give up on beets entirely, beetroot powder does allow me to enjoy them more often in drinks or soups without the hassle.

    I found my beetroot powder at Sprouts but I’ve found a few brands online. Sari Foods and Frontier Natural are both high quality organic brands. I also use beetroot powder in my AIP Char Sui Pork recipe so you have multiple recipes to use this powder.

    What are the beetroot latte health benefits?

    Beets are nutrient dense, helps fight inflammation, and a good source of fiber. Since I included a bunch of spices in this Coconut Beetroot recipe, you’re not just cooking with beet powder. There are also a lot of health benefits that come from the honey, turmeric, collagen peptides, cinnamon and ginger. They are:

    • Anti-inflammatory
    • Fight nausea (thank you ginger)
    • Antioxidant
    • Reduces cholesterol
    • Help prevent cancer
    • Antimicrobial
    • Reduce bone loss
    • Improve hair, skin and nails

    Sources: health benefits of turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, honey, collagen peptides

    Healthy, blah, blah, blah – Is it good?

    Yes! I swear. It’s think and slightly sweet and definitely coconut-y. It has some warmth from all the spices and beets, which reminds me of an adult version of hot chocolate. My non-AIP eating husband loved it! He drank the entire thing before he even thought to ask what was in it. I told him beets and he didn’t believe me. He said it tasted too good. Haha!

      Although skeptical at first (I’m not a beet fan), I tried this recipe and found it to be surprisingly delicious and satisfying. This was a soothing tonic of nutrients, sweet to taste, and silky on the palette. Totally forgot I was drinking beets 🙂 This was a tasty pre-bedtime treat. Beth creates AIP recipes that are so easy to make and enjoyable. This is another great drink recipe, perfect for any day of the week.

        So creamy, tasty and comforting!
        Being AIP, you sometimes want a warm drink and this was perfect! Not too sweet and the spices give it a wonderful flavor. Bonus, it’s so easy to make too. I promise you don’t taste the beets, they just give it a pretty color.

          Beets scare a lot of people away from this recipe. Thanks for giving it a chance. I'm glad you liked it.
