I just came back from hot & humid Orlando, to some beautiful autumn weather here in NY. Even though I was in Disney World, aka The Happiest Place On Earth, aka Heaven, aka my crack, I had a little FOMO seeing everyone pumpkin and apple picking on Instagram over the long weekend! I hope you all had a magical time ;) My weekend was surely magical!
This weather is perfect T-shirt weather. And you know what that also means? Perfect Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) weather. However, this year, I have seen tons of health websites and blogs warning about the ingredients in the Starbucks PSL. See here on FoodBabe.com for yourself. A Grande alone has 50 grams of sugar. (Side note, I chuckled when I wrote A Grande… because Ariana Grande. Get it? A. Grande.?! I digress. I'm not funny). Also, there's NO REAL PUMPKIN in it. Rude. And I can't even pronounce most of the chemicals in it. And that's coming from a speech pathologist. *snaps fingers in S motion*
But when I came home from Disney World, my mother surprised me with this gem she found at Whole Foods. Behold! Califia Farms Pumpkin Spice Latte!
At only 100 calories and 14 grams of sugar per serving, you'll be trying to resist drinking the entire bottle. And I can pronounce the ingredients. Plus… there's actually pumpkin in it. It's also dairy free and soy free. It's made with almond milk! Which is the only milk I've been drinking for the past 2 years.
Does it taste exactly like the most popular drink on the Starbucks menu? No. But I think it tastes better. I get more of a real pumpkin pie taste with this latte!
I often find Califia Farms at Whole Foods or Fairway, but you can go to the Califia Farms website and use the store locator to find their products near you. Sip away!!
