Why it’s Healthier

  • No refined sugar: Sweetened with pure maple syrup for that delicious cozy fall flavor!
  • Non-Dairy Milk: Dairy is not inherently unhealthy, but if you use a good quality non-dairy milk, it can be easier to digest for my lactose intolerant friends!
  • Real pumpkin: Packed with fiber and vitamins, giving you a nutritional boost.
  • Customizable: Adjust the sweetness and spice levels to suit your taste, making it as indulgent or light as you prefer.

This Pumpkin Spice Latte is the perfect treat for cozy mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups, letting you enjoy the seasonal flavor while still feeling good.

Did you know that the PSL at Starbucks has 50g of sugar?

You read that right. 50. FIFTY GRAMS.

Now, I am definitely not one to count calories, carbs, macros, blah blah blah. But 50g of sugar is insane. For a coffee drink?! I don’t think so.

You can easily make a delicious (and way healthier) latte right in your own kitchen, probably faster than it would take you to drive to Starbucks. Oh and bonus, you’ll save yourself like $7.

I’d say that’s a win.

Ingredients for a dairy-free PSL

  • STRONG COFFEE – you can brew it fresh for the hot latte, or use cold brew for the iced
  • NON-DAIRY MILK OF CHOICE – my favorites are either unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
  • PUMPKIN PUREE – using real pumpkin puree in this just makes it so much more authentic, Starbucks just uses a pumpkin spiced syrup
  • PUMPKIN SPICE – you can’t have a PSL without pumpkin spice! It gives you those warm and cozy flavors of Fall.
  • MAPLE SYRUP – use the real maple syrup, not the weird fake syrup. It makes all the difference, and this is by far the best sweetener for this latte. It gives you all the Fall feels with that maple flavor.

MAKE IT HOT OR ICED!

To make sure that I catered to everyone’s preferences, I made you two versions. -> HOT & ICED!

You use all the same ingredients for both lattes, just prepare them a little differently. You can use the blender for both versions to get it nice and creamy.
