Have you ever wondered how to make a latte that’s creamy, indulgent, and packed with natural goodness, without turning on a full espresso machine at home? Avocado has been enjoyed for centuries in Central and South America, valued for its rich, buttery texture and nutrient-packed profile. In recent years, cafés in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. began experimenting with avocado in beverages, giving rise to the now-popular avocado latte trend, a surprisingly rich and velvety drink that combines ripe avocado, frothy oat milk, and freshly brewed espresso.

This avocado latte with frothed oat milk and espresso is a treat for the taste buds and a healthier alternative to traditional sugar-laden lattes. By using high-quality ingredients and kitchen tools from Zulay Kitchen, you can create a café-quality drink right in your own kitchen that’s smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced.

How to Make an Avocado Latte 

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1–2 cups

Ingredients

For the Avocado Latte:

• • • 1 ripe avocado
    • 1 cup oat milk
    • 1–2 shots of freshly brewed espresso (or strong coffee)
    • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Base

Scoop the avocado into a small mixing bowl using a knife or avocado slicer. Mash until smooth with a masher or a silicone spatula or with a fork- any tools you can. Just make sure you mash it into a creamy base without lumps. Add vanilla extract and honey/maple syrup, if using, and mix thoroughly.

Step 2: Froth the Oat Milk

Pour oat milk into a frothing pitcher. Use the Zulay Kitchen Milk Frother to froth the milk until creamy and slightly thickened. Frothing the oat milk creates a smooth texture that blends beautifully with avocado.

Step 3: Brew Your Espresso

Brew 1–2 shots of espresso using your preferred espresso machine or coffee maker. If you prefer a less intense coffee flavor, a strong brewed coffee works as well.

Step 4: Combine the Latte

Slowly whisk the frothed oat milk into the mashed avocado until fully blended. Then, pour the espresso over the mixture while stirring gently. The result should be a creamy, visually appealing latte with a light green hue.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Pour the avocado latte into your favorite mug or cup. Optionally, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg for extra aroma and flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Tips & Twists to Try on Your Avocado Latte

• • Sweeten Naturally: Use dates or agave syrup instead of honey or maple for a natural, refined-sugar-free option. The subtle sweetness pairs perfectly with the earthy avocado flavor.
  • Add a Boost: Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon of spirulina or matcha powder for extra antioxidants and a vibrant green color. This transforms your latte into a nutrient-packed super drink.
  • Try a Chilled Version: Blend avocado and oat milk with ice cubes, then pour espresso over the top for a refreshing iced avocado latte perfect for warmer days.
  • Spice It Up: Mix in a pinch of cardamom, cinnamon, or nutmeg into the avocado base to elevate the flavor profile, making your latte taste like a café specialty.
  • Go Vegan-Friendly: Use plant-based sweeteners and oat milk for a fully vegan version that’s still creamy and indulgent.
  • Experiment with Milk Types: Try almond, cashew, or soy milk for a slightly different flavor and frothing experience. Each plant-based milk changes the creaminess and richness subtly, giving your latte a unique twist.

Health Benefits or Comparison

An avocado latte with frothed oat milk and espresso is a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional lattes. Avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals, while oat milk contributes soluble fiber and a creamy texture without the saturated fat found in dairy milk. Combined with antioxidants from espresso, this latte supports a gentle energy boost without the blood sugar spike often found in sugary coffee drinks.

Compared to a standard latte, this drink is lower in refined sugars (if sweeteners are optional), higher in fiber, and more filling due to the avocado. It’s ideal for coffee lovers who want indulgence without compromising nutrition.
