Pumpkin Spice Lattes signify the start of Fall, and boy do we need that in Houston, when the weather just will not cooperate.  While it may be tempting to grab a PSL on the way to work each morning, the 380 calories in a grande size are the equivalent to full meal.  Save some calories and some money with the following recipe for a quick, easy, healthy, and delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 Freshly Brewed Cup of Your Favorite Coffee
• 1 Teaspoon of Almond Butter (You can sub cashew butter or no-nut butter if you’re allergic) – this is where the creaminess comes from
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Puree (unsweetened, plain)
• ¼ Teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice (store bought or homemade)

Directions: Place in a blender and blend until creamy and frothy.  Enjoy!

Extra Tip: If you’d like to top this with a dairy-free whipped cream, try refrigerating a 14 oz can of coconut milk overnight, skimming the fat off the top (leave the water for another use), and whipping it with ¼ c icing sugar until it resembles whipped cream consistency.  This will keep in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, but you will need to re-whip prior to each use. This coconut whip goes great with the creaminess of the PSL!
