    It's autumn and soon the cold days of winter, and if you are a fan all of the pumpkin spices recipes then you must surely love this healthy pumpkin spice latte.

    For those who are new to this, as the name suggests, it is a spicy latte made from pumpkin or other squash puree mixed with pumpkin pie spice such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves and served hot with espresso and milk.

    Pumpkin spice lattes are the kind of drinks we like to buy to take away in coffee shops like the famous Starbucks pumpkin spice latte which cost a lot of money and are often too high in sugar and chemicals.

    But this was before testing this homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe, because in addition to being so delicious, it will not cost you an arm and moreover it is made with natural ingredients and especially it is much less sweet.

    Yes, this healthier pumpkin spice latte is made with homemade squash puree which is much tastier than the ones you can buy in a can and sweetened with maple syrup which blends perfectly with the spices and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

    The pumpkin spice latte also contains a shot of strong espresso perfect for getting your caffeine fix and can also be made into an iced pumpkin spice latte perfect for chilling out on a hot day.

    This delicious drink with spicy flavors is usually served with a cloud of whipped cream but for a vegan pumpkin spice latte, you can remove it from the recipe.

    And it's the perfect drink to warm up by the fireplace this winter with plaid and a good Christmas movie.
