Tis the season to be cozy. And nothing says cozy like nestling in a soft throw blanket with a warm mug full of your favorite holiday lattes. But what if that delicious beverage was also guilt-free and loaded with health benefits instead of sugar and caffeine? 

While it’s tempting to reach for that conventional packet of hot cocoa or cruise to your corner cafe for a seasonal latte, it may put a dent in your health aspirations if it’s a daily practice. On the other hand, the holiday lattes listed here are so beneficial that you can indulge in them every day, while actually nurturing the systems of your body and mind. Plus, you’re not compromising on delicious holiday flavors — we’ve put a healthy spin on the pumpkin spice latte, eggnog latte, hot chocolate and other classics. 

11 Simple Recipes for Holiday Lattes

Create a healthy and decadent holiday tradition of making one, two or all of these holiday lattes throughout the season. These warm delights are infused with herbs, spices, adaptogens, nootropics and just a touch of low-glycemic sweetener to bring you tidings of comfort and joy (and whole system wellness). These lattes are espresso-free, with black tea or herbs taking the stage for mental clarity and balance. 

1. Turmeric Pumpkin Spice Latte
