It’s true… a Pumpkin Spice Latte tastes pretty great.
But then there’s that double-take moment when you hear how much sugar is in it.
A grande has about 50 grams of sugar (that’s 12 teaspoons!).
No wonder it sends your blood sugar on a WILD roller-coaster ride.
That’s too much sugar for anyone! 💯
This Golden Hour Pumpkin Spice Latte gives you all the warm fall vibes without all that added sugar.
It’s creamy, spiced just right, and (yes) it’s still sweet!
Golden Hour Pumpkin Latte
(Serves 1)
¾ cup milk of choice (I use coconut milk)
¼ cup brewed coffee or espresso
2 Tbsp pumpkin purée
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp turmeric
1 tsp local maple syrup or local honey (or to taste)
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: collagen peptides or adaptogenic mushroom blend
In a small saucepan, warm the milk, pumpkin, and spices over medium heat (don’t boil).
Add to a blender with coffee, sweetener, oil, and any optional add-ins.
Blend for 20–30 seconds until creamy + frothy.
Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.
