Pumpkin Latte
I remember my first taste of a Pumpkin Latte; I was in the cutest coffee shop in Vermont visiting my really fun aunt, Julie:) I also worked at a coffee shop when I was in high school, which is where my passion for baked goods came along. We always got to bring home the leftover cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones, cookies...that were left from the day! Yikes!
1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a dash of each: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves)
4 TBS pumpkin
1 shot of espresso (or 1/4 cup strong coffee)
1 tsp pure vanilla
Sweetener to taste
Place ingredients in a large bowl (or I used a MAGIC BULLET blender, click HERE to find) and mix until smooth. Enjoy!
