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

    I LOVE making lattes at home. Although I should buy shares in Starbucks….making them at home saves soooo much money, and they taste so good too.

    Amazing, I never tried pumpkin spice latte, I don’t think they serve it here in France. I will have to make it at home, thank you for the recipe

  3. I am all about a good pumpkin spice latte at this time of the year, and I love the caramel twist here. In fact, I could absolutely go for one of these lattes right now! Thanks so much for sharing! #client
