Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte

I can’t get enough! Pumpkin anything and everything! 🙂

This is JUST as satisfying as the ever-popular Starbucks Pumpkin Latte, but without all the unhealthy fat and sugar! Since I don’t have a frother, espresso maker, or anything “fancy”, so this is the “easiest” way to make a latte from home!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee (divided)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2-3 tbsp pumpkin purée
• 1 tbsp stevia (to taste)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• few dashes of nutmeg and ginger
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I added it and couldn’t taste it at all!)

Take a 1/2 cup of coffee and all the other ingredients and blend well (I used my magic bullet). It should be a “frothy” mix.

Pour over your remaining 1/2 cup of coffee. Sprinkle with cinnamon and/or whipped cream, and enjoy!! 

It’s as simple as that! If you wanted, you may heat the milk, pumpkin, and spices in a saucepan for a few minutes to “simmer”, and then blend. But I found when you add 1/2 of the hot coffee then blend, it creates the same great texture and flavor! Happy Fall 🙂
