Ingredient notes
You only need a handful of healthy ingredients to make this tasty morning treat! This is what we use to make this creamy almond butter latte:
- Brewed coffee: you'll need a cup of your usual brewed coffee. The darker the roast, the stronger the coffee flavor will be. You can also use a shot or two of espresso for a more intense coffee kick.
- Collagen: collagen is a flavorless protein supplement with many touted health benefits. We often use in our creamy morning drinks for added nutrition. You can omit it if you don't have any on hand.
Other ingredients you need are creamy almond butter, coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon.

It's hard to be creative before coffee, so here are a few variation of this almond butter latte for you to try:
- Almond butter date latte: switch up the sweetness and use 1-2 medjool dates instead of maple syrup. Dates are naturally sweet and high in fiber, too!
- Chocolate almond butter latte: add 1 tablespoon of cocoa or cacao powder to give this latte a decadent chocolate twist. You could even drizzle the top with a bit of chocolate sauce!
- Raspberry almond butter latte: instead of maple syrup, use our raspberry simple syrup for a fruity twist that tastes a lot like PB&J!

Recipe FAQs
Wait, there's no milk in this latte?
Nope! The almond butter makes this drink creamy and frothy so there's no need for milk. This also means it is dairy-free but still full of latte flavor.
What's the best kind of coffee to use?
You can use any brewed coffee. It can also be coffee from a french press, or if you have a Nespresso machine, one pod will do the trick.
Is this almond butter latte high in protein?
It is! Both the almond butter and the collagen provide this drink with protein to keep you fuelled for longer.
Can I use a different nut butter?
Yep! While we love the taste of almond butter, cashew butter and tahini (sesame paste) make great alternatives.

This is the best homemade latte I’ve ever made and tasted! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
This was ridiculously delicious! I had to do PB because Iām out of almond butter but it was still so rich and creamy. I donāt know if I can have it any other way! I left out the maple syrup and I still felt the nut butter was enough to provide rich and creamy flavor. Almond butter is my favorite nut butter so I can only imagine how delicious that will be when I try it. Thank you for this simple, healthy, flavorful recipe!
Soooo good!! Didnāt look very creamy at first but once I took a sip I was amazed! Didnāt use a blender just one of those hand held frothers
This sounds delicious, but itās not actually a latte. A latte has a milk base. Since this has no milk in it (regular or vegan milk) itās actually not a latte or even a macchiato
I finally got a chance to try this for the first time this morning. I wont lie I did add a splash of oatmilk to mine because the original recipe was a little strong for me on the coffee flavoring for me. However, once I got it to my liking it is fabulous. Bonus, I can also use the coconut oil for my smoothies too.
I normally use an almond cream that I make (1C soaked almonds, 1-1.5C water, 1T vanilla, 3T maple syrup) but we will be going on a two week road trip. I love the idea of using almond butter as a sub for my usual creamer. Since we will be hiking 7-9mi each day, I love that this has fat, protein, fiber, and a little sweetness. Thank you!!!
This was creamy and filling. I enjoyed this so much!
I’m drinking this right now and it’s so good! Will check out your other Vital Protein recipes now!
That’s so great to hear! I’ve got a bunch on the blog. There’s one I just posted for some paleo banana bread using Vital Proteins. So good too! š
I love this recipe! Youāre right you donāt taste the vital Proteins at all. Will make it many more times.
It’s amazing how it blends into the coffee so well, isn’t it? So happy you liked it!
Yummy! First time using Vital Proteins.
I’m so happy you liked it! Vital Proteins are the best, aren’t they?!!
This sounds so delicious! I love that it only requires a blender, which is a kitchen staple, rather than a frother or espresso machine. Will definitely be trying this š
And the best part is how frothy your blender makes the latte. WAY better than any frother. š
super creamy super delicious!!
I’m so happy you like it as much as I do!!!
