Fall is officially here! This means people (at least this someone) is flocking to Starbucks for their Pumpkin Spice Latte. So, like many I have guzzled these bad boys down for three months straight each year. However, I have realized a few things about the PSL....
1. They're freaking expensive...like 5$+ a pop!
2. The amount of sugar is astounding.
3. From the little research I have done they also have a lot of things I would NOT want to put in my body (see image below)! Now to be fair they have changed their recipe this year but I couldn't find much information about it at this point (I will update if I learn more)!
For me the Sugar alone makes me want to cringe. That being said my new goal is to not have anymore PSL's (deep sigh) and to experiment with healthier options! Today I made a dairy free pumpkin spice creamer to share and it is really yummy!! Also, below you will see a Pumpkin Spice Shakeology recipe that is delicious!!
DAIRY-FREE PUMPKIN SPICE CREAMER
Prep time: 5 mins
Total time: 5 mins
INGREDIENTS
• 1½ cups any combo of dairy-free milk you prefer (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk.)• ¼ cup pumpkin puree
• ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Organic blue agave
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge. Always shake creamer before using.
2 You can add sweetener (especially if you're coming down off of the sweetness of Starbucks PSL) to the creamer, but I prefer to add sweetener to my cup of coffee. I use organic Agave from Costco and add to your liking!
** If you want your coffee a little creamier you can add full fat coconut milk for part of your 1.5 cups!
Enjoy,
