This vibrant latte is creamy, earthy, sweet, and made wholesome with roasted beets and gooey Medjool dates. Make it into a red velvet latte by using plant-based chocolate milk. It's the perfect drink to cozy up with on a cold day.
Combine the soy milk, beet, dates, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender until smooth and creamy.
Pour this mixture straight into a saucepan on medium-high heat. If your blender isn't very powerful, or if you don't like small fibres to remain in your drink, strain the mixture through a sieve while pouring it into the saucepan.
Add the cinnamon stick and maple syrup. Let the mixture heat up, stirring throughout to prevent burning. Let simmer for about 3 minutes, then remove the cinnamon stick.
Pour into mugs and optionally add a shot of espresso. Stir, and enjoy!
Notes
†Nutrition tip: aim to use plant-based milk that is fortified with calcium.
Storage
Best to enjoy immediately.

So so goood! I make it with decaf coffee, and it is very tasty in it’s earthy flavour! I make it several times a week and it’s my go-to drink when I have go to university. Thank you very much!

Awe we're so thrilled to hear, Emilia, thanks so much 🤗
This was delicious! I'm a new beetroot convert and I'm trying to experiment with different combinations. I was a bit sceptic about a sweet beetroot recipe, but I'm so glad I gave it a shot. This latte is such a fun way to incorporate more goodness into hot drinks.

Ooo welcome to team beet! So happy to hear, Becky ❣️
At first, it feels like yukh tbh, but in the third, fourth sip; taste begins to develop. I was in doubt while making it but I am surprised by the results. 😃

Hi there, Maira, the latte has an earthy sweetness from the beetroot that may not be for everyone. If you end up giving it another try and are interested, adding more syrup can help sweeten it. Do let us know if you give the latte another try 😊

I tried it right now! I just increased the number of dates instead of syrup, it's delicious now 😋 Thanks for the suggestion 🥰
I was so addicted to the Golden Latte that I was scared to try the beets, but I'm so happy I did. I love the earthy flavor the beets provide! Keep in mind that you will have a purple tongue after drinking :p Thank you, PUL team!

Thank you for taking the time to share the review, Mags! A lovely reminder about the purple tongue 😛
I love beetroot and I love this latte! It might look strange for others but the combo is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. I've tried both versions: with and without espresso, both delicious but hey, I am a coffee lover so... :-D

Mmm love the two variations! Thanks so much for the review, Georgiana :)
This drink is very good! For someone who did not particularly liked beetroot in the past, that was a pleasant surprise. It could be a great alternative for getting children used to beetroot as well.
Beets?? In a latte? Yes please! They are the earthy flavour I never realized I needed in my drinks. Genius idea and so incredibly satisfying. Delicious!

Hehe love to hear this, Cyntia! So glad you're enjoying the latte 😃

Lovely for a study afternoon
This is one of the most delicious late I have ever tasted! Strongly recommend!
Obsessed
Lovely, healthy, comforting!
This was delish! Thanks PUL!
Lovely flavour and perfect sweetness. I also tried it with chocolate oat milk, and it was even better than with espresso!
Never a disappointment! Such a great way to enjoy a hot smoothie on cold days with a bad throat. I also added some chia seeds to increase the protein!
