The pumpkin spice latte has become practically synonymous with autumn. Unfortunately, each one you order from your local coffee shop is pumped full of artificial pumpkin-flavored syrup and averages about 300 calories, 38 grams of sugar and 11 grams of fat. And that’s just for 12 ounces! Our healthier recipe is all-natural and only 85 calories — half that of the cafe version.
