FAQs

Not at all. While I love the creamy texture and flavor of the Fairlife vanilla protein drink, you can use your favorite protein drink. Just make sure to use a vanilla-flavored drink and know that the texture of your latte (and the protein content) might be a little bit different than if you had used Fairlife. If you can't find a vanilla version, add a tiny bit of vanilla extract to your latte.
All of the ingredients in this recipe are gluten-free, so you don’t need to make any substitutions if you follow a gluten-free diet. That being said, you should always read your ingredient labels to make sure that what you’re using is safe.
Definitely not! While I love to use a frother because it makes a delicious, creamy latte quick and easy, you can just quickly whisk your ingredients together in a small bowl if you don’t have one. You’ll still get some froth, it’ll just take a bit more elbow grease. You could also try using an immersion blender for more high-powered frothing.
