Low-FODMAP Iced Vanilla Latte Recipe; Gluten-free, Vegan

You have some competition, Starbucks. This low-FODMAP Iced Vanilla Latte recipe is simple and delicious.  Perfect for a hot day to perk you up and make your taste buds sing (did I mention it costs about $1?).

So creamy and delicious, you can also make this recipe using hot coffee, for a low-FODMAP Hot Vanilla Latte treat.  If you happen to be a lucky owner of an espresso machine and milk steamer- then by all means, use that!  Otherwise, if you are like me, just warm the mixture in the microwave.  Easy peasy!

Ingredients

• 2 cups brewed espresso (I use instant espresso powder for mine & mix 2.5 tsps espresso powder with 2 cups water)
  • Can also substitute regular coffee
  • This is faster if you start with cold coffee
• 1/2 cup canned coconut milk or coconut cream (1/4 cup is one low-FODMAP serving)
  • I prefer it really creamy, and opt for coconut cream
  • Check out my low-FODMAP grocery shopping blog for tips on brands of coconut milk or cream
    • Do not substitute ‘cream of coconut’ for coconut cream
• 1 cup low-FODMAP milk (such as almond for vegan version or lactose-free milk)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Optional: 2 tablespoons sugar, or low-FODMAP sweetener of choice (I chose sucralose, can also use stevia)

Directions

• Place brewed espresso or coffee into ice cube tray and freeze
• When frozen, remove from tray
• Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 1 minute
• Serve in chilled glasses, top with low-FODMAP coconut whipped cream, if desired

• Recipe variations:
  • Short-cut version: Use hot/warm coffee and add 1-2 cups ice to blender
    • This will make a slightly more dilute coffee flavor
  • Hot version: Use hot coffee and warmed low-FODMAP milk/cream and place in blender

Sip away this summer with low-FODMAP Vanilla Iced Latte!
