5 Ways to Order Pumpkin This Fall

Praise the Lord (PTL!), it’s pumpkin spice season! October brings up a giddiness from deep within me that says, “Let’s bake apple pies and drink pumpkin spiced coffee all day long.” Call me #basic… It’s fine. 😉 I get it, there are a lot of calories in a traditional pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks to drink one every single day. And, for me, sometimes I want pumpkin but I want to mix it up a little. I am sharing 5 ways to order pumpkin in your coffee this fall that will blow your mind!

I am shown below in The Cake Shop’s PTL for the PSL Tees!

1. The Pumpkin Spice Latte. Okay, obviously… BUT, listen. You can cut the calories. If you just go to Starbucks and order a Pumpkin Spice Latte, they are going to serve you a grande with whole milk and a whopping near 400 calories. It’s true. GASP. And listen, sometimes, it’s okay to just go for it. But, to cut the calories, you can order a tall, nonfat OR almond milk pumpkin spice latte. This cuts out the fat and calories greatly!
2. Americano with steamed almond milk and 1 pump of pumpkin! I order this every single time I go to stroll Target. So… usually twice a week. 😉 I order it decaf often since I go in the afternoons, and have usually already had at least 3 cups of coffee by then. This drink order is well under 100 calories, and truly tastes like a pumpkin spice latte minus quite as much sweetness. If the PSL is too sweet for you, this is a great option in general! You could add another pump of pumpkin to really make it strong.
3. Chai Latte with 1 pump of pumpkin. I love chai lattes! Packed with nutmeg and cinnamon,  adding some pumpkin just makes sense. I order a non-fat tall chai latte (sometimes dirty, which means adding a shot of espresso!), and 1 pump of pumpkin. Again, this is a lot more calorie friendly than the whole milk latte. Minus the espresso, it’s a much nicer, caffeine friendly drink. Still has some, but minus the coffee jitters.
4. Cinnamon Dolce Latte with 1 pump of pumpkin. If you have never had a Cinnamon Dolce, you are seriously missing out. I grew up eating cinnamon toast for breakfast, and this literally tastes like hot cinnamon toast with buttery goodness in a cup. Again, cinnamon and pumpkin together just can’t go wrong.
5. Coffee Frappuccino with 1 pump of pumpkin and dash of cinnamon. SO DELISH. Non-fat coffee frapps are calorie friendly. Adding a pump of pumpkin and cinnamon is blast of fall, but if like me in Texas, it’s still 85 degrees today and a hot drink maybe doesn’t sound so great… This is a great option for you!
