Pumpkin spice lattes are making a major comeback right now and it’s pretty difficult to resist them because we’re seeing them everywhere. This Starbucks drink is incredibly delicious, but it’s not extremely healthy. Luckily, you can make your order a little bit healthier with three quick fixes.
Plant-Based Milk
Milk is one of the main ingredients of pumpkin spice latte, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should go with dairy. Using almond, soy, or coconut milk is a good way to cut down on calories and sugar and transform a regular pumpkin spice latte into a vegan one.
Cutting Down on Syrup
If you’re wondering which ingredient gives PSL its amazing taste, it’s the pumpkin spice syrup. Unfortunately, this syrup is packed with sugar so you should tread lightly when using it. Ask your barista for two or three pumps per serving to lower the drink’s sugar content.
Skip Whipped Cream
You can also get rid of unnecessary sugar by ditching whipped cream. This topping will make your drink more picture-perfect, but it’s packed with sugar and saturated fat, so you’re better off without it.
