Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Personal opinion, I really don't like Starbucks coffee, especially their version of the pumpkin spice latte, eeekk! Anything I do like from them is loaded with sugar.

To keep from going into sugar shock, be sure that your pumpkin butter is all natural. It should only contain a combination of pumpkin, apples, spices, and a hint of sugar.  Can usually be found at specialty stores like Trader Joe's or Byler's, or check online for a healthy version. Here's a healthy version of the season's yummiest latte. Addictions okay. Take that, Starbucks!
