Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte

It's starting to feel like Fall and I'm craving Pumpkin Spice Lattes but I don't want to waste time going to the coffee shop or the money.   I've made a yummy AND healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte that is vegan, paleo and gluten free!  It is also free of any artificial colors or flavorings!  Wait it gets better, it is under 50 calories a serving!! Say what?!  I won't make you wait any longer....here's the recipe!

Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte
Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:
10 oz coffee, brewed strong
6 oz unsweetened almond milk
4 tsp Clean Eating Pumpkin Spice syrup (see recipe here)
1 packet stevia

Directions:
1) Brew coffee
2) Measure out almond milk and warm in microwave on high for 30 seconds
3) Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 20 seconds.
4)  Divide evenly between 2 cups and enjoy!!

Want to know how I got the calorie count??

10 oz coffee - 0 cals
6 oz almond milk - 22.5 cals
4 tsp Pumpkin Spice Syrup  - 70 cals

= 92.5 cals / 2 = 46.25 cals per 8 oz cup

**If you are following the 21 day fix or CIZE meal plans this recipe counts as 1 tsp since according to the manual you technically can have 1 free tsp a day of pure maple syrup in your coffee and the almond milk amount is so small, 3 oz, in my opinion is not worth counting such a small amount of a yellow container.  If you want to get super technical I would count it as 2 tsp to be on the safe side.  Don't know what these programs are and you want more info, shoot me an email by clicking the button below so we can chat!
