This Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte is just like the popular Starbucks drink, but with fewer calories, less fat, and sugar. You can make it in a blender in under 5 minutes!
<h3>Why you'll love this homemade DIY pumpkin spice latte</h3>
<b>Less sugar:</b> In a tall 12 oz cup of pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, there are about 300 calories and 40 grams of sugar, which equals about 10 teaspoons of sugar! In our homemade version, we use half the sugar, which is just cane sugar and can be adjusted to your preference or omitted completely. Plus, it's only 200 calories per serving.
<b>Loaded with pumpkin:</b> This recipe includes real pumpkin puree, not just syrup that tastes like pumpkin. It gives the latte a rich and decadent flavor.
<b>Cheaper than buying it:</b> Lattes can be pricey when bought frequently. Making it at home costs just a fraction of buying it from a coffee shop, and it only takes 5 minutes to prepare.
<b>Tastes like fall:</b> This pumpkin spice latte captures all the cozy flavors of autumn in one cup. It's warm, comforting, and feels like a big hug in a mug!
