#698: (Healthy) Pumpkin Spice Latte


I'm obsessed with (relatively) healthy coffee drinks right now.  I was THRILLED when I came across this recipe and realized I could make the pumpkin milk ahead of time and just make the coffee in the morning and add it to it.  I barely make it out of the house each day on time so this is perfect for me!!  Yum!

Pumpkin Milk
1 c milk
1/4 heaping cup pumpkin puree
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend, or to taste
1 tsp cinnamon, or to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract
sweetener of choice, to taste (I used 2 packets of stevia)

Combine all ingredients in a small blender and blend to combine.  Throw the pumpkin milk in the microwave for 1 minute to warm up. 

Add half of the mixture to 1 cup of brewed coffee (I like my coffee sweet so I had to put an additional 3 packets of stevia in the coffee first, then added the pumpkin milk).  Save the other half for cup #2 or for later.
