Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte

Although this caramel pumpkin spice latte is sweet and comforting it isn’t all unhealthy. Pumpkin is a nutrient dense food rich in vitamins and minerals whilst the maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice help sweeten the latte naturally. You could, however, make some changes to make a skinny version:

• Swap whole milk for unsweetened almond milk or another nut milk
• Reduce the maple syrup by half
• Omit the caramel sauce
