How to make my all time favorite Cinnamon Oak Milk Latte | Dana point Photographer

As a Dana Point newborn photographer and mama of three, I basically run off coffee. I feel like most mamas probably feel the same and if that’s you. Well I am about to rock your world when it comes to making your coffee at home. It’s better than Starbucks (honestly I don’t even like Starbucks anymore) and it’s healthy, low in sugar and much more affordable than a coffee shop.

Step 1 : Good quality espresso. I use a Nespresso and honestly I’m obsessed with it. Most pod coffee is so watered down and flavorless in my opinion but Nespresso is not at all. Here is the one I have but if you keep your eye out you can almost always find a really good deal on them.

Step 2. Oak Milk. I have tried every oat milk on the market within the last year or two and there is only one brand that reigns supreme. OATLY. I can only find this brand at Target, Sprouts and Whole Foods. I seriously buy 4 or more at a time. People are out buying TP in bulk and I’m buying oat milk. It’s fine.

Step 3. I steam my oat milk while my espresso brews. Oatly oat milk foams so nicely too, way more than other brands. Add in a scoop or two of Vital Proteins Collagen, a little agave and mix it all together. Lastly sprinkle some cinnamon on top and voila!

Step 4: Lastly, I must recommend a Yeti coffee cup, it keeps my coffee HOT for hours. As a busy mama, this cup lets me enjoy a warm cup most of the morning!

If you try this, let me know what you think! I hope you love it as much as I do!
