1. Pumpkin Spice Latte With Homemade Pumpkin Seed Milk [Vegan, Grain-Free]

2. The Healthiest Peppermint Mocha [Vegan]

This has to be The Healthiest Peppermint Mocha you’ll ever find – thank you, Caroline Doucet!.

The cashews make it perfectly creamy without the milk, plus they add a good dose of healthy fats. Add some unsweetened cocoa powder and a drop of peppermint extract and you’ve got yourself a delicious healthy holiday drink.

3. Maple Cinnamon Latte [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Christine DesRoches’ Maple Cinnamon Latte takes just moments to whip up using a blender, no espresso machine or special milk frother required.

9. Mocha Peanut Butter [Vegan]

With a touch of cinnamon and vanilla to gently lift the bitter coffee and cocoa flavors, this Mocha Peanut Butter by Alison Murray is absolute perfection in a classic sourdough PB and J, added to smoothies and desserts or just eaten from a (large) spoon.
