Healthy Birthday Cake Latte
If you’re reading this, chances are it’s appropriate for me to wish you a happy birthday! I truly hope that your year ahead is your best yet, and what better way to kick it off than with a fun homemade coffee? Plus, since you’re making it at home, it will save you the coffee shop bill and can also be customized to meet your dietary needs/preferences all from the comfort of your home!
Make it your own
While this recipe is already free from dairy and gluten, it can also be made to be free from sugar. To do so, opt for unsweetened milks/creamers/collagen or protein powder and choose monk fruit as your sweetener.
To keep it vegetarian, opt for your favorite vanilla protein powder instead of collagen. If you do choose to use collagen, see below for a discount code to my favorite collagen ever! The brand is also women owned, which is a great added bonus!
Feel free to use your favorite milk and creamer. I personally love to use MALK Organic’s Almond Milk whenever I’m using a nut milk and also have Nutpods stocked in my fridge. Both brands have plenty of Whole30 approved products and are made with super clean ingredients, so I never worry about a heavy pour into my coffee.
My favorite coffee grounds to use are VitaCup. Not only does the Beauty Coffee have the most delicious smell to wake up to (think coffee mixed with cinnamon), but it also is packed with nutritious beauty benefits!
DISCOUNT CODES
I feel so lucky that some of my most favorite brands that I use on a daily basis have given me codes to share with you so you can love them too!

Healthy Birthday Cake Latte
Ingredients
Coffee
- espresso or coffee (I use VitaCup Beauty Coffee grounds)
Birthday Cake Creamer
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk (I use MALK Organic's)
- 2 tbsp vanilla creamer (I use Nutpods)
- 1 scoop/tbsp collagen or protein powder (I use Further Food Vanilla Collagen)
- ½ tbsp cacao butter
- ½ tsp honey or maple syrup OR 1 tsp monk fruit for sugar free (can add more if you want it sweeter)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp almond extract
Toppings (Optional)
- whipped cream (I use coconut or sugar free)
- sprinkles (I opt for the most natural option available to me)
Instructions
- Put all of the birthday cake creamer ingredients into a pot over medium/low heat on the stove for a few minutes.
- While this begins to heat, brew your coffee or espresso. You can also have this over ice if your birthday is in the warmer months, so feel free to swap for cold brew.
- Once the cacao butter begins to melt, use a hand held frother to mix all of the ingredients together and to froth the creamer slightly.
- Pour your coffee or espresso into your favorite mug and top with whipped cream and sprinkles. Happy Birthday!
