I was craving a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks this morning, but I knew it was a bad idea. So my lovely friend Keya linked me a recipe to help me out. I doctored it up and found that it was pretty good! Not exactly like Starbucks, but enough like it to kick my craving.
The original recipe calls for espresso, but I don't have an espresso machine, so I just used strong coffee.
Recipe:
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of your favorite no calorie sweetener
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Fat free Reddi whip (optional)
8oz strong coffee
Mix all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan until smooth. Heat, but do not bring to a boil. Mix with your coffee or espresso and top with the Reddi whip. Enjoy :)

Lets compare that to the Starbucks latte shall we? This is the nutritional information for a 16oz pumpkin spice latte with nonfat milk and whip cream.
Cal: 330 Fat: 7g (4.5 of that is saturated) Sugars: 50g Protein: 14g
So they have me beat on the protein, but that's about it.
