DIY Your PSL! Audra Shares her Recipe for a Healthier Pumpkin Spice Latte

Did you know some PSLs have as much as 50 grams of sugar and don't even contain pumpkin! Audra shares an easy, healthier version you can make at home!

DIY your PSL! Who doesn’t love a good pumpkin spice latte?  But did you know that one coffee treat could be packing on upwards of 50 grams of sugar and most don’t even have pumpkin in them? Audra shares a quick, easy and healthier version with hardly any sugar and boost of real, organic pumpkin!  Start with your coffee as you typically take it.   Audra adds this to her coffee:  a 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil, a scoop of collagen protein (Ancient Nutrition), and splash of heavy whipping cream.  This starts your day with a dose of healthy omega fats, five types of protein, and vitamins A, D, E and K.  Fat soluble vitamins are better absorbed when consumed with fat.

Recipe for Audra’s healthy version PSL

6 oz. brewed coffee (sweetened to your preference)

3/4 cup your choice of unsweetened milk (coconut, almond, oat, or dairy)

1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree

1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

(optional) a splash of heavy whipping cream

While your coffee brews, mix well the other ingredients.  Use an immersion blender if you have one.  Heat 1-2 minutes in microwave. Whisk and pour over your coffee.  Sprinkle a little more spice on top.  If you really want to take it up a notch, whip some of the heavy cream as a topping.

(If it’s not sweet enough for you, add a little (just a little) maple syrup or use a sweetened almond milk. )
