I don’t know about y’all, but my mind and recipes are starting to shift towards the holidays and more wintery trends. Comfort foods like family-favorite casseroles and soups are on the top my list, as well as all things peppermint. Mmmmmm.
I recently discovered DREAM Latte™ while doing my weekly shopping. As someone who doesn’t drink milk, and the only coffee drinker in my house, I was excited to try out the mocha flavor! The caramel flavor will be on my list to try next!
With the holidays approaching rapidly, the DREAM Latte™ line of products would be perfect coffee drink for our dairy-free and lactose intolerant friends! For many of us, coffee is a necessity in the morning – and sometimes, it’s even an occasional “treat”. Having a few containers of DREAM Latte™ on hand would be perfect for family and friends who visit!
I did a little reading about DREAM Latte™. I’m a nerd like that. I love that DREAM Latte™ is made with fair trade coffee beans and it offers a great tasting, nutritious beverage in a convenient single-serve container. It is an almond-based, non-dairy drink and it comes in two delicious flavors – caramel and mocha! DREAM Latte™ is an excellent source of vitamin E and vitamin B12!
Here are some other good to know facts about DREAM Latte™:
- 100 mg of caffeine per serving
- Vegan
- Non-GMO Project verified
- Rich in calcium and vitamin D
- Soy, lactose, Dairy, Gluten and Cholesterol Free
- Single serving containers
I decided to make my very own Dairy-Free Peppermint Mocha Latte using the DREAM Latte using the mocha flavored drink as my base – y’all, it’s a 20 mile drive to my closest coffeehouse! The single serve containers make it super easy and convenient for me to curb my coffee cravings at home! The DREAM Latte™ products are pantry stable – meaning, no need for refrigeration!
I stopped by my favorite coffeehouse when I was in town the last time, and bought the peppermint flavored syrup for about $10-12. It will be fantastic throughout the winter season in all of my drinks …. and I just may sneak it into a few desserts too!
