How to Make a Copycat Gingerbread Latte – Sugar Free/Dairy Free

Gingerbread is one of my favorite holiday treats! The sweet spices whether in cookie or drink form are always a perfect Christmas-time flavor. Starbucks got on the gingerbread train years ago, but have not brought the gingerbread latte back since 2018. However, I can offer you something even better – and cheaper! This Copycat Gingerbread latte – sugar-free and dairy-free – is perfect to satisfy your craving with out sacrificing your budget or health.

Why Choose this Alternative?

Well for one, an original Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks is has 330 calories, 38g sugar, 14g fat – in a Grande (16 oz)! That much sugar in one drink is disastrous for your health – more so than you might think. Consuming this much sugar regularly can lead to weight gain, acne, type 2 diabetes, and can increase your risk of several serious medical conditions – including cancer. Yikes! Since it is way better to be safe than sorry, I highly recommend this alternative recipe you can make at home.
