🍁Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte (better than Starbucks)

This maple PSL is the perfect last-minute shopping buddy. The burst of energy you’’ll get from this homemade sweet treat is exactly what you need to power through your errands this weekend.

(A homemade sweet treat made with only natural sweeteners I might add!!!)

Starbucks might taste delicious, but every single one of their specialty drinks is unnecessarily high in sugar. 😥

Like…. I’m talking 50 grams of ADDED sugar (in a grande 😱)… THAT unnecessary!

Plus… all of this 🤯

MILK, PUMPKIN SPICE SAUCE [SUGAR, CONDENSED SKIM MILK, PUMPKIN PUREE, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICE FOR COLOR, NATURAL FLAVORS, ANNATTO, SALT, POTASSIUM SORBATE], BREWED ESPRESSO, WHIPPED CREAM [CREAM (CREAM, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, CARAGEENAN), VANILLA SYRUP (SUGAR, WATER, NATURAL FLAVORS, POTASSIUM SORBATE, CITRIC ACID)], PUMPKIN SPICE TOPPING [CINNAMON, GINGER, NUTMEG, CLOVE, SULFITING AGENTS]

🍁☕️ My maple pumpkin spice latte has 14 grams of NATURAL sugar (no added) from 6 INGREDIENTS:

• Organic maple syrup (2 tbsp)

• Organic pumpkin purée (2 tbsp)

• Frothed half and half (2 tbsp)

• Cinnamon (1 tsp)

• Nutmeg (half a pinch)

• Himalayan pink salt (a pinch)

• Chocolate salt (a pinch, optional)

And it takes less than 5 minutes to make (less time than it takes to go through a busy Starbucks drive-thru.)

Instructions:

1. Pour brewed coffee into a medium-sized pot. Add pumpkin puree, and whisk into coffee on the stovetop over medium heat.

2. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of Himalayan pink salt. Whisk.

3. Froth half and half in a frother or a DIY froth if you don’t have a frother.

4. Pour the coffee mixture into a mug or to-go cup, and add frothed milk, and a sprinkle of chocolate salt.

5. Enjoy!

Enjoy drinking a delicious specialty coffee, AND let your body enjoy it too! Less of a blood sugar spike, less stress on the body, inflammation, insulin resistance, etc.
