Why I love this latte
I'm a latte girl and always ready to try out new flavors! To tell you the truth, I easily drink 2-3 lattes a day, and this version of pumpkin iced latte is one of my favorites as summer draws to a close.
We've all known what Starbucks lattes are, and it's just impossible from a nutritional point of view (amount of sugar) and financially (too expensive) to satisfy my latte cravings.
So this recipe for homemade pumpkin spice latte is healthy, made with unsweetened almond milk, real pumpkin puree flavored with my pumpkin pie spice and sweetened with natural sugar from maple syrup.
- Very quick to make with two preparations, a mixture of pumpkin spice mixture and milk.
- All the flavors of Autumn to enjoy in summer with a wonderful blend of pumpkin spice made with my homemade pumpkin pie spice.
- A generous, delicious drink with a whipped cream topping.
- Perfect for getting your coffee fix and cooling down at the same time.
