Preparation
-
1
In a mug or heatproof glass, add the Fairlife milk, zero sugar creamer, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir or whisk until the cinnamon is well distributed and there are no clumps.
-
2
Prepare 1 shot of espresso (or 60 mL of very strong brewed coffee). Pour the hot espresso into the milk mixture and stir to combine. Taste and adjust: add a little more milk or creamer if you prefer it creamier or sweeter.
-
3
For a hot latte, warm the mixed drink gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot but not boiling, or froth the milk mixture before adding espresso for extra foam.
-
4
For an iced version, let the espresso cool briefly, then combine with the milk mixture and pour over a glass filled with ice.
-
5
Dust the top with a pinch of extra ground cinnamon, if desired, and serve immediately.
Lower-Calorie No-Sugar-Added Cinnamon Latte
This lower-calorie cinnamon latte is inspired by those days when you want to change things up but still keep your coffee on the sweet, lighter side. Using ultra-filtered milk and a zero-sugar coffee creamer, you get a velvety, café-style drink without any added sugar syrups.
Why this lighter cinnamon latte works
- No added sugar, but still sweet: Zero-sugar creamer adds sweetness and flavor without loading on calories.
- Creamy but lighter: Fairlife (or another ultra-filtered or low-fat milk) gives body and protein without the heaviness of full-fat cream.
- Warming spice: A touch of organic Ceylon cinnamon brings natural sweetness and a cozy aroma, so the drink tastes more indulgent than it is.
- Ready in 5 minutes: Just mix, heat if you like, and enjoy.
Hot latte or iced cinnamon coffee
You can serve this recipe steaming hot as a latte or pour it over ice for an iced cinnamon coffee. For hot drinks, froth the milk mixture for that classic latte foam; for iced, simply chill the mix and pour over plenty of ice.
Serving and pairing ideas
- Morning treat: Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast, a protein muffin, or fresh fruit for a satisfying breakfast.
- Afternoon pick-me-up: Enjoy as a 3 p.m. coffee break instead of a sugary coffeehouse drink.
- Flavor twist: Add a pinch of organic turmeric for a golden latte vibe, or a tiny pinch of organic cayenne pepper for a spicy mocha-style kick.
Make it your own
- Use decaf espresso or strong brewed coffee for an evening-friendly version.
- Swap in your favorite plant-based milk (oat or almond) and a sugar-free, dairy-free creamer to keep it dairy-free.
- Adjust the cinnamon and vanilla to taste—more cinnamon for warmth, more vanilla for dessert-like sweetness.
