Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte - enjoy this copycat Starbucks favorite for just 190 calories!

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte is a lightened up version of a popular fall beverage, with less than 200 calories. 
Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte - enjoy this copycat of a Starbucks favorite for just 190 calories!So, it’s that time of year when pumpkin spice products are everywhere, including Starbuck’s popular Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I picked up a cup of Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte this weekend and I have to tell you, I don’t think it tastes like pumpkin or pumpkin spice – it’s more of a vanilla flavor and it’s cloyingly sweet. I give Starbucks a lot of credit for eliminating artificial coloring and using real pumpkin, but they’re still using preservatives and fake vanilla flavoring.

So, I’ve come up with a clean, skinny version of this Pumpkin Spice Latte that you can make at home using cashew milk (1 cup of unsweetened Silk Cashew Milk has just 25 calories), maple syrup and real vanilla extract. You can even splurge with a little light whipped cream on top and stay under 200 calories!

I had my family do a side-by-side comparison of my Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte and the one from Starbucks and mine won hands down. So give it a try and let me know what you think.

    I am all about making this drink at home instead of buying one that’s loaded with sugar. This looks like a great recipe to try out.

      I’m going to have to check out your Gingerbread latte – I made a DIY Chestnut Praline Latte last winter. Love it when you can make these specialty lattes at home.

    Horray for real food!! And look how gorgous this is! I can’t bring myself to order a PSL from the Bux, it’s just way to sugar laden for me, I don’t even think I would enjoy it at this point. But your version, sign me up for 2 please 🙂 This looks awesome. Gotta make this this weekend!! Pinning and yumming!

    Hi Jeanette! I’ve got some confusion- is it vanilla extract you are using, or some other vanilla product? Thanks!!

    two questions
    1- how much sugar is in this drink?
    2- can I use almond milk unsweetened vanilla

    I love pumpkin spice latte and if I can make it cheaper and healthier, I am totally in.

      There are 16 grams of sugar in this recipe. You can use any non-dairy milk you like.
