The Pumpkin Spice Latte Craze!

Hi everyone!

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are all the rage these days, but they are full of calories and sugar!! I have made my own pumpkin pie spice that can be added to coffee, protein shakes, oats, in cakes, whatever you want!! This recipe makes enough for a small tin, each serving in coffee or oats is less than 1 Tsp, so this should last you the season!





Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbsp Ground Ginger
1 Tsp Allspice
1 Tsp Ground Nutmeg





I have made my own Protein Pumpkin Spice Latte Frappuchino using this spice mix and it tastes just like the Starbucks version but with much better macros!!

Ingredients:
1 scoop whey (I used MyProtein Cinnamon Danish)
Coffee
1 tsp of the Pumpkin Pie Spice
Ice
Water/Milk

Just blend all the ingredients together in a blender and enjoy!!

MACRO COMPARISION:
Starbucks Tall Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte: 
200 cals 0F/38C/11P of which 37g SUGAR!!!
Protein Pumpkin Spice Latte (made with 150ml skimmed milk): 
154 cals 2F/9C/25P
Pumpkin Pie Spiced Oats!!
