Would you try one?

Pink, turmeric, matcha - there are so many ways to take your latte these days that we're spoilt for choice when it comes to our coffee. We all love a cup of the good stuff. So much so that us Brits are reportedly drinking 95 million cups of it a day (up 25 million since 2008), with the average person taking two cups a day according to a 2018 survey.

So it's fair to say we're quickly becoming a nation of coffee drinkers. No wonder there are now so many different ways to get your fill - extra hot, wet, in an avocado skin (remember that?).

And just to make your choice that little bit harder, there's a new beverage on the block that might have you ditching the flat whites. Enter, the porridge latte.

Always skipping breakfast because you're late to work? Can't find a decent coffee shop nearby? Want your wake-up drink to also sustain you until lunchtime? This could be the answer that you've been looking for.

As reported by Her.ie, the porridge or oatmeal latte may just be the next big thing for the highly-caffeinated. It's a mix between breakfast and a drink, making it a feasible option for anyone who repeatedly presses the snooze button in the morning.

If you want to give it a go at home HowSweetEats.com has concocted an easy-to-follow recipe.

However, if you really don't have time in the mornings you could pick one up from your nearest Starbucks (apparently it's part of their secret breakfast menu).

But why not give it a go this week?

A porridge latte could just be your new favourite.
