3 Fall Latte Recipes You NEED To Try This Season

Now that the fall is here, we are all about the scents of the season in the form of pretty much anything—from candles and room sprays to food and, of course, beverages like apple cider and pumpkin spice lattes. Glitter Guide contributor, Kara Stout, is here to help us enjoy the scents and tastes of fall with three three delicious and easy-to-make fall-inspired latte recipes that you’re going to want to try ASAP.

With the cooler temperatures fast approaching, it’s easy to imagine cuddling up with a warm latte to stay warm, and luckily, you don’t have to travel far to enjoy this hot beverage. In fact, homemade lattes are easier to make than most people realize. Before I started making my own, I didn’t realize just how simple they are to make. I also thought they wouldn’t taste as good as the ones ordered at coffee shops, but that’s absolutely not the case!  

Homemade lattes can be simple, delicious and a huge bonus if you can control the ingredients yourself. Many coffee shop lattes are loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners, which are detrimental to your health, energy level and skin. That’s why I was so excited to create these three fall-inspired lattes for you. They not only smell absolutely heavenly and taste amazing, but they are dairy-free with no added refined sugars and sweetened either naturally by fruit or a natural sweetener. Also, these three lattes don’t have any coffee added; however, feel free to add in coffee if you’d like. I wanted to provide the basic latte recipes to satisfy those who don’t consume coffee or caffeine and those who do. I personally think coffee could be especially great added to the Pumpkin Pie Latte and the Apple Cider Latte. I would also suggest adding in unflavored collagen peptides (here is my favorite brand) to these lattes if you have it on hand because collagen is great for the skin, hair, nails, joints, bones and overall health. I hope you enjoy these recipes!

Pumpkin Pie Latte

Turmeric Latte
