Paleo – This is normally made with milk, so we need to substitute it with almond milk. We’re also going to substitute regular sugar for coconut sugar. 🥥 Also, make sure to use arrowroot and not cornstarch.

FODMAP – This is traditionally served with finely chopped pistachios on top. Although most of us could probably handle a little, it is completely up to you if you want to take that chance.😬

Macros – You can make a recipe for two servings, 🔢 but you could also log the ingredients separately: 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of arrowroot, and 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar. If you add pistachios, make sure you add that! 

Servings – 2

Ingredients
– 2 cups of almond milk, unsweetened vanilla
– 2 tablespoons of arrowroot
– 4 teaspoons of coconut sugar
– ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon of ground ginger
– ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract
Toppings of finely chopped pistachios, optional
For fun, you can put cinnamon on the rim of your cup or just sprinkle it over the drink

Steps

1-Using a medium or small saucepan, add all the ingredients except the pistachios. Use a whisk to mix the sugar and arrowroot well. Cook over low to medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2-Make it your own way. Taste it and play with the seasonings. You can also add more arrowroot to make it thicker, but don’t add more than another tablespoon. It’ll change the flavor too much. 

Helpful hints – Really play with the seasonings. Two of my boys love the cinnamon flavors but another son wants very little but still wants to taste it. We like this drink hot, but it can be served over ice. If you do serve it as an iced drink, I recommend skipping the toppings.
