I was bummed that I didn't get this Iced Vanilla Bean Latte recipe up as promised this morning before leaving for my flight, but the age of technology was on my side and my flight to Austin has wifi access the entire way! I always get so excited when I board a plane and they announce there's wifi but then it stops working 20 minutes from takeoff. Not this flight! I can blog, respond to your Facebook comments and tweets, and catch up on extremely past due television shows all while in route to Paleof(x). Score.
My trip has already started off on a good note. I met Minnie Driver in the security line and then bumped into Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo and her sweet family in the food court area. We all munched on salads while they filled me in on what the Paleo conference circuit will look like. The only downside so far is the foul smell coming from the body of someone in my near vicinity. I think they may need to go Paleo because something is obviously not agreeing with their system!
I was up late packing and re-packing last night so this iced coffee would really come in handy right about now. I usually limit my caffeine intake to once a day with just a cup of coffee with coconut milk in the morning, but this iced vanilla bean coffee is a welcome treat when Asher has woken us up with the sunrise on certain mornings or I carelessly stayed up far past my bedtime the night before.

I am so excited to hear about your trip! I hope you blog about your experience 🙂

That coffee looks so yummy. I think I’ll pick up some vanilla beans. Have a great trip!

I am on day 4 of no coffee, but I just added decaf to my grocery list after reading this! Looks so good, I am going to make it this weekend!

I hope this isn’t a stupid question, but, when you say vanilla bean, do you mean the seeds inside of the actual bean that you scrape out? Have you ever tried the vanilla powder, if so have you found a brand you like?
Against All Grain
I use the seeds from inside the bean, and I haven’t tried the powder yet.
Glenda
Can u buy just the seeds of the vanilla bean? Does the seed dissolve then?
Against All Grain
I’ve seen them dried at gourmet food stores, and those would work!
Kris Koppy
I’ve also seen vanilla paste on Amazon. I plan on trying it…ordered some. The vanilla beans are very expensive! https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12/175-0692803-4484769?url=search-alias%3Dgrocery&field-keywords=vanilla%20paste&sprefix=vanilla+past%2Caps%2C227

Man oh man this looks amazing. You inspired me to make something very similar this afternoon, I had to improvise with vanilla extract since I didn’t have any beans, but it was still amazing. I don’t drink much coffee so this was a special treat and boy was it amazing! Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Faith
This sounds (and looks) delicious! Can’t wait to have this baby so I can drink (small) amounts of caffeine again…

Do you have anything like for us tea drinkers created??? .. I LOVE the Chai Tea Latte from SB, but have to stray as it has mega sugar high, and calories galore of course. I am soooo Very happy for you and your book release. God has opened MANY doors for you… 😉
Against All Grain
Here’s another one of my tea recipes, but I’m working on some more too! Thank you so much for all of your support 🙂

This sounds so yummy. Does substituting the honey/maple syrup for something like Stevia change the consistency? Just wanting to cut down on calories. Thanks.
Against All Grain
No, that should be just fine!
Cassidy @ Cassidy's Craveable Creations
YUM! I can’t wait to make this!!!

Im just curious why you stated to use decaf for SCD? I know coffee probably isn’t a great idea for anybody with IBD, but isnt light roasted coffee legal? Im just curious as Im on the diet and hope Im not doing it wrong..lol!!!bb
Against All Grain
Yes, very weak coffee is allowed.
Judy Aussenhofer
I just tried this and the flavor is truly remarkable even with vanilla extract to replace the vanilla beans. Thank you for sharing this receipe.
Alexa
Yum! I love using coconut milk instead of cream!
Gillian
“…coming from the body of someone in my near vicinity” – you’re so cute! That’s so unfortunate because you couldn’t even move to get away from the smell! 🙁
Love the flavoured iced lattee recipe, too!
Kate
That looks amazing. This will be a perfect morning summer drink… Thanks for sharing it.
Carly
Thank you so much for sharing a delicious and healthy coffee drink! I live in the desert and enjoy hot coffee for a short period. Iced coffee is a must 9 months of the year! Do you have any other iced coffee recipes?
Against All Grain
Yes! Here’s a link to my blog, specifically the beverages, where you can find all of my recipes 🙂

I these all of the time and they are so good. I use instant coffee, almond milk, stevia, vanilla extract and some ice. I don’t blend it, but this one sounds great with the honey and cinnamon! I’ll have to try this tomorrow a.m.!!!
Stephanie
When a recipe calls for coconut milk, is it meaning the canned kind? Does using the kind in the carton change the taste and consistency? When using the canned kind are you supposed to mix it up or just use the solid part?
Thanks.
leah
have you found a brand of coconut milk that doesnt contain carageenan (i am not talking about canned milk but rather the boxed or bottled stuff in milk cartons?)
Against All Grain
I actually haven’t yet! Like you said, canned is the only kind that I know of that never has carrageenan.
Lena Germann
You can very easy make your own coconut milk: 1/2 cup organic sulphite free coconut flakes + 1 cup hot water blend for a minute or so, strain through a nut cloth/ cheese cloth and that’s it!
Alex Kumari
So delicious doesn’t have carageenan. At least not listed in the ingredients. 🙂
Snowbear
Leah, So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk does not contain carrageenan. (I spent 20 minutes reading labels for just that!!)
Noel
I just wanted to say thank you for posting this one! Since taking gluten, dairy, and refined sugars out of our diet, the only thing I’ve really missed have been my latte’s (I’m a recovering coffee and Starbucks addict haha). This is perfect and is great hot too! I have a baby boy and this makes waking up after a sleepless night a little easier 🙂 Thank you!!
Kristi
Do you blend it in the blender because mine doesn’t look the same as the pic…very good though!
Erin Elston-Callahan
Hi! I am wondering what kind of vanilla beans you use…the link took me to a broken page in Amazon 🙂 Thanks!!!
