Pumpkin Spice Nutrition Showdown: Comparing Our Recipe with Starbucks
Call us basic, but warm, foamy pumpkin spice latte is just the beverage that we're craving during the fall months. Here, we made a pumpkin spice simple syrup that you can make with easy, at-home ingredients and none of those preservatives that you'll find in your PSL from Starbucks. Strong brewed coffee and whisked milk allow you to mimic the flavors of a latte without any of the heavy-duty cafe equipment. Make a batch of the seasonal syrup and add it to your cup of joe in the morning throughout the week, or make all the lattes at once for a cozy morning with friends.
With a little sweetness and a lot spice, Pumpkin Spice Lattes are a fall drink that we can’t resist. It’s easy to head to the drive-thru for your pick-me-up, but it might be coming at an extra cost. See below how our healthy homemade recipe compares nutritionally to Starbucks’ popular drink:

By using our DIY pumpkin spice latte recipe, not only are you avoiding unnecessary ingredients in the Starbucks drink like “mono and diglycerides” and “sulfiting agents”, you’re also saving 100 calories, 6.5g of fat, and 7g of sugar. If that’s not sweet, I don’t know what is.
