It’s officially that time of the year: wine gets hot and spicy, whiskey gets toddied and coffee chains replace their trademark cups with red ones adorned with kitschy Christmas motifs. Ordering an extra dry soy latte isn’t enough; now we crave the addition of eggnog or gingerbread syrup.
But you may want to re-think that: you'd be astounded by the amount of sugar they pump into those Christmas drinks. Sure, they look cute in their snowman cups, sprinkled with edible glitter, but there’s nothing festive about a sugar high followed by a nasty slump hours later. A typical medium eggnog latte packs 24 teaspoons of sugar and well over 500 calories. No wonder most of us start gaining weight in winter!
Luckily, we’ve found the perfect way for you to enjoy festive drinks without the unhealthy additions of sugar and sickeningly sweet syrups. Make these delish Vegan Drinks for Winter at home and take them with you on your commute (ok, maybe not the alcoholic ones!) or re-create them when you’ve got friends over. Most of these can be served hot or cold, and of course if you don’t drink alcohol, our boozy recipes are just as yummy as ‘virgin’ versions too.
