Whatever the reason it maybe for giving up dairy products, sometimes it feels like we are missing out on the fun drinks that we used to hold dearly during those cold winter days. Thanks to plant based milk we now can replicate those warm milky drinks into dairy-free versions.

So, if you are already eating a dairy-free diet or are planning on going dairy-free then these recipes are a must during this winter. These dairy-free lattes not only fix your sugar cravings but are super healthy and guilt free.
