Skip the $5 Latte: This is The Healthiest Way to DIY Your Own

If you’ve ever seen my Instagram, you already know I live for a good DIY superfood latte. Why would I wait in line, spend $4.45, and drink more sugar and calories than necessary when I could make a latte that’s packed with superfoods and is frothier and more delicious than a generic coffee shop’s cup of coffee?

Here’s my secret: a blender or frother (more on that below), a really good cup of homemade coffee (I’m not a coffee snob so don’t @ me on this rec, but I love this one), and Further Food whole food supplements. I found Further Food a few months ago and have been using their products every day since. Instead of adding multiple different ingredients to fit superfoods into my diet (ain’t nobody got time or $$ for that), Further Food combines it all for me. All of their products are expert-formulated, contain the highest quality ingredients, and are third-party tested, meaning you’re only getting the very best (your body and your latte deserve it!).

One to two scoops of Further Food means an extra boost to help you achieve your health goals, whether it’s reducing inflammation, healing your gut, or getting that skin glow. By combining collagen peptides, adaptogens, and other anti-inflammatory superfoods, these Further Food blends are quite literally your one-stop-shop to a healthier you and an even more delicious cup of coffee. Plus, Further Food is one of the only mission-driven women-owned and operated supplement companies in the country. Is that on brand or what!?

If you couldn’t tell, I could go on and on about Further Food, so I’ll stop before I talk myself into making my third latte of the day. Whether you’re a coffee addict or much prefer matcha, below are my favorite recipes for the most delicious and health-packed lattes you’ll ever have (or make!). Bonus tip: to be a legit barista, you’ve got to froth your milk. Try a handheld frother, the milk frother we use in our office, or blend in a Nutribullet.
