Yield
Serves 1-2
Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
1½ cup water (warmed to 115 F)
1 inch cut of an organic vanilla bean
½ tablespoon flax seed
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch black pepper
4-5 drops of stevia
Recipe Directions
1. Put everything, except the water, into the blender. Warm the water (I used a kettle), and start by putting one cup into the blender. Mix.
2. Taste the latte. If it’s too creamy, add a bit more water. (I usually end up adding 1 1/2 cups.)
3. Whir away in the blender until it's nice and frothy.
Kathrynintheraw's Thoughts
By kathrynintherawA warm, creamy concoction that could put Starbucks out of business (almost).
Variations:
1) Add a bit of spirulina for a St. Pattie’s themed green latte!
2) Omit stevia; add 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup for a maple latte.
3) Omit spices; add 1 tablespoon (or to taste) of powdered green tea for a green tea latte.
4) Make up your own; the possibilities are endless!

Did you really check the temperature of your water to ensure it was 115 degrees? Are you afraid of killing your bananas or your dried herbs? I believe in raw and living foods for health, for life. And I understand temperature plays a role in protecting enzymes. But it just becomes exhausting to me to see obsessive worries about things like keeping the water that you add a couple of bananas and dried spices to under 115 degrees. It's just overkill for me.

I just broke my raw food virginity with this recipe. Whipped out the blender & mixed this stuff all up. It's fabulous! And so simple. The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves is so yummy! Thanks for poppin' my... :)

I'll be honest, I really didn't check the temperature. I brought it just below boiling point and then let it sit for awhile while I got together the other ingredients. If it was over 115, then so be it, I'm not too worried about a little hot water. Mon46 is right, I included the temperature to be respectful of those who are very detail-oriented in their raw lifestyle.

laurajean, I think kathryn was being respectful in putting the recipe within "raw food guidelines." Obviously, people post recipes, and you can change them in whatever way you want. Personally, I still boil water for tea. I really don't like anything tepid, and feel comforted by that nice hot water.

I want to point out, though, kathrynintheraw, that my previous comment is not directed at you so much as I'm just voicing out loud more a question of where do we draw the line to fanaticism in the raw and living foods philosophy? Sometimes I think we just make it difficult for each other when we become so strict about every tiny detail of what is okay and what is not okay in this lifestyle. I think that just reinforces guilt and feelings for some people that this is not a long-term realistic lifestyle. My point is that this is and should be considered a lifestyle, not a religion.

This does look lovely and light! So refreshing to see something like this w/o almond milk or loaded down with a ton of nuts. A low-fat uncook book would be a breath of fresh air. Sign me up! I'll be your first customer. I do love eating raw and want to stay raw. If I had a few more creative tasty low fat recipes for weekends when the tempations always hit me, I'd be doing well

aww... you guys are so nice! i've been throwing around the idea of doing a low-fat raw cookbook or e-book (mainly cause eating raw has made me a poor, poor girl). too bad i don't know the first thing about how to go about it... =P

I have a pretty cheap (i.e. crappy blender) and just by having the flax in all along, it got ground up =)

what a fabulous idea! and with bananas, not nut mylk. how divine!
question: if you have a regular blender do you need to grind the flaxseed up before? (is the idea to have it ground?)
