I remember the first time I stumbled upon chia seeds and their incredible health benefits.
I was experimenting with different ways to incorporate them into my diet, and that’s when this cinnamon-spiced latte came to life.
It’s become my go-to morning drink, especially on chilly days when I want something nourishing and comforting.
I love how the cinnamon warms my soul, and the chia gives it that lovely, creamy texture!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Chia seeds are tiny nutritional powerhouses packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. If you can’t find almond milk, feel free to swap it with oat, soy, or any other plant-based milk you love. I sometimes use a homemade nut milk which just adds that extra touch of goodness!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar in the pantry - they stay fresh for months!
- •Adjust the sweetness to your liking; sometimes I add a pinch of coconut sugar for an extra caramel note.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a pinch of cardamom for a unique twist.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I add a scoop of cacao powder for a chocolatey version.
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before warming it up again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chia mixture in advance and just heat up the almond milk when you're ready to enjoy your latte.
