October starts Pumpkin Spice Latte season!  Before you run out to your local Starbucks and spend all your precious wine and online shopping money, try this homemade, easy, healthier version of the fall classic!

I used this recipe from popsugar.com to make a DIY PSL!

Healthy Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 drops of liquid stevia (or sweetener of choice)
  • 8 ounces brewed coffee (or 1-2 shots of espresso)
  • sprinkle of cinnamon

Directions

  1. In a cup or saucepan, mix together almond milk and pumpkin. Cook on medium heat on the stovetop or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  2. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, spices, and sweetener, place in a cup and use a frother to foam the milk. You can also use a blender —  just process for 30 seconds or until foamy.
  3. Pour coffee into a large mug, add the foamy milk mixture on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Enjoy!
