Healthy Low Carb Gingerbread Latte Recipe

When you decided to embrace a healthier diet, everything begins to shift a little. It can be a slow evolution or it can be a dramatic schism, but either way, your perspective on food begins to change and grow. Simply by paying attention to what you put into your body, you become increasingly concerned with where your food comes from and how it is grown. And you begin to realize that the choices you make have a greater impact than just on you as an individual. You now see that the foods and products you choose have implications beyond your body and your household, to your community and the land around you. Sometimes even reaching far corners of the world.

For me, personally, it was definitely a slow evolution. When I need to change my diet for my health, that was my immediate and only concern. But then I came to understand that by choosing healthier ingredients and foods, I was making good choices not just for my body but for the world around me. It is for this reason that I try to choose organic as much as possible.

Sometimes it simply isn’t possible, but I’ve noticed that it is becoming easier and easier by the day. Really, it’s never been easier to go organic, not only for food, but for so many other household and beauty products. Organic is no longer simply the purview of little independent health food stores in some funky corner of your town. It’s no longer dominated by specialty (and pricy!) upscale stores. Organic is everywhere. Major grocery chains stock organic produce alongside the conventional produce. They have aisles of organic packaged products, in the dry goods, the freezer aisles, the dairy section and even in the meats and cheeses. And a great many of these stores carry their own lines of organic foods and beauty products at great value.

With the increase of interest in organic options, making the organic choice often isn’t much more expensive than purchasing conventional products. And the range of products and brands that are offering organic options is growing by the day. For me, I am delighted to see more brands, like In The Raw sweeteners, come out with an organic option. Organic Stevia In The Raw is a great new addition to their line up and perfect for sweetening my warm coffee drinks in the fall and winter. Since I always use organic almond milk and organic cream in my lattes, the Organic Stevia In The Raw is the perfect complement.

Organic Stevia In The Raw is USDA certified organic, non-GMO verified, vegan, and naturally gluten-free. For local readers, you can find this product at Walmart in Beaverton, OR. Find a retailer or buy online here. There is also a coupon available for you here!

And while some might say it’s too early for gingerbread, I say nonsense! The warm spices of ginger and cinnamon are always welcome, especially as the mornings get chillier.

  1. Oooh, can’t wait to try this! As you say, it is becoming easier and easier to purchase organic. The selections available now are amazing, but some produce can still be cost prohibitive. I do buy more organic than not these days. I buy Kalona Super Natural Organic whipping cream for my coffee and recipes. I use Organic Valley cream cheese and butter. Costco organic eggs. The Home Goods store is a great place to find organic products. I find various brands of organic tomato sauce (passata), in glass jars no less, that are perfect for Keto recipes, no sugars or extra junk added.

    • I usually use the Pacific brand. But O Organics (at Safeway and Albertson’s stores…and Shaws and a few others) is a good one too.

      • Awesome thank you!!! I’m writing it down. I buy the Silk, which doesn’t have a lot of the nasty stuff in it like Carrageenan, soy etc. I drink a lot of it, so would like to go organic with it.

  32. Let’s see…. Olivia’s Organics Baby Spinach seems to stay fresher longer than other brands and tastes great!
    Then there’s Plainville Organic Ground Turkey (I get it at Costco), And of course Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Yogurt. And Simply Organic dry spices… believe it or not the best price I’ve found for these is at Whole Foods!!
    Trader Joe’s carries lots of organic items now and always has great prices.

    Recipe question: “press on solids” what solids??? And what is the “creamer” reference?? just a little confused

  86. we have been eating organic for about 4 years. Initially it was very difficult to find organic food in the local grocery stores but now it is much easier even Aldi’s carries their organic brand. Many of the organic foods taste so much better. Have had to eat non organic while visiting and you can really tell a difference in the way you feel. I use to think organic eating was just a fad but now I am a true believer!

  89. We try to buy organic fruits and vegetables when they are available. Also, meats we purchase are usually organic and free of GMO’s.

    Did you know that “in the raw” sweeteners have maltodextrin as a filler? Maltodextrin can impact blood sugars similar to real sugar. I had no clue thinking organic and in the raw meant it was less processed. I threw my bag out when I found out. Many don’t realize that about the in the raw brands. Monkfruit in the raw also has maltodextrin. I’m assuming you can sub the stevia with whatever sweetener you choose.

  120. In Canada it is very hard to get low carb things like we used to do in TN, USA, and that makes me very sad. I have seen organic things in our province of Alberta, but they are a lot more expensive than regular. Also you need to be careful of “organic things”, as many companies get around the organic label because they add less additives or pesticides in keeping with government standards if “organic”, at least in Canada that is the case. I need to check labels more carefully.
    Carolyn, I have been wanting to ask you: Do you take the photos of your food and recipes? Awesome job if that is the case. I have always enjoyed the photos on your site.
    Blessings!
