It’s that time of year where PSLs are out in full force.  I happen to love lattes and also pumpkin however the Starbucks brands are soooooo WAY over the top for this girls stomach.  As much as I enjoy a sugary treat every now and then, my stomach is very fickle about which ones it will accept and these it will not.  So I have been looking at different recipes this year with a lower sugar content and tried a few this weekend.  The winner from LoveSweatFitness has got to be, hands down, my favorite from all the ones I tried.  The flavor is good, not too much pumpkin spice and enough of a kick (I used espresso :D).

Try it out.  I am sure you will enjoy it.

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of your choice, personally I prefer 2%)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 cup brewed coffee (or 1-2 shots of espresso)
Sprinkle of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice

Place your milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and maple syrup in a sauce pan and whisk until hot.

Add the mixture to your brewed coffee and sprinkle some cinnamon and pumpkin spice on top.

This recipe is good for two lattes.
