This vegan pumpkin spice latte is made with REAL pumpkin and spices, and is bursting with cozy fall flavor! Can be made hot or iced.
Let me just start off by saying that I don’t CARE if this is “basic”, or whatever they’re calling it nowadays. Pumpkin Spice Lattes (or #PSL, as they’re known) are pretty darn delicious. I remember there was a year when my sister used to get a venti from Starbucks every day, she was so addicted! However, it wasn’t until 2015 that Starbucks actually began to put real pumpkin in their PSL. Um, what?
Listen, I love a good artificially flavored goodie now and again. But when it comes to flavors in my coffee, you can’t beat the real thing! Especially when it comes to an ingredient like pumpkin, which is so easy to work with. That’s why I love this vegan pumpkin spice latte – it’s made with REAL pumpkin, REAL spices, and just a bit of pure maple syrup for sweetness. In my humble opinion, it’s WAY better than its counterpart at SBux.
I promise that you will LOVE this vegan pumpkin spice latte. YES, it is refined-sugar free and vegan, but it’s also delicious, and that’s the most important thing. :) Happy #PSL Season!!
