Vegan Latte

Almond milk iced latte
A vegan latte *? Surely an oxymoron. But with the proliferation of "milk" from plant sources - rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and more - there are indeed many choices for making a vegan version of this iconic Italian drink.

My personal favorite uses unflavored almond milk ('regular' or 'orginal') which has just a bare hint of sweetness and a nice creaminess.  A whole cup is only 60 calories, and like all the vegan options, it is naturally cholesterol free.

*Caffelatte is Italian for milky coffee; order a latte and you'll get just milk.
