Well, well, well, what have we here?
Just a skinny pumpkin spice latte.
I know, I know, pumpkin.
Weird.
I mean every single blogger in the entire universe is posting about pumpkin right now, but I couldn’t not, NOT share tonight’s warm, delicious concoction.
Because NO lie this recipe is so damn festive, so damn easy, & so damn good.
Plus you’ll feel super ‘Fall-ish’ drinking this.
Fall-ish= that autumn-y scene of crispy leaves, trendy plaid scarves with matching navy Hunter boots, homemade thick cranberry sauce, pumpkin patch hay, & casual apple picking ( < um, bucket list ).
So ya, this drink is so totally Fall-ish:
The whole process takes like 25 seconds of life. It’s really just that simple.
Plus pumpkin has some badass benefits:
+ aids in weight loss
+ protects the skin
+ boosts your mood
+ reduces cholesterol
+ boosts your immune system
I give pumpkin to my chihuahuas ALL the time— dogs LOVE it. Just make sure it’s 100% pumpkin.
& honestly, I’m really all about these mugs.
If this whole post was about my plaid, festive-ass mugs, I’d be completely satisfied.
They’re just kind amazing in every aspect.
Plus, aren’t they sooo Fall-ish?
xoxo, lauryn

I haven’t jumped aboard the pumpkin train yet but you make it look so like the thing I have to do now!

I’m obsessed! It’s from Target! http://bit.ly/1ndnDnp

Just pinned this to try later! Looks amazing.
I feel like the least pumpkin-spiced-anything person on the planet, but WILL have to try this! Can’t believe how simple it is. And that mug is so cozy, love it!
Well, it looks amazing. HoweveeI am not a fan of coffee – always been a tea drinker… but I am looking forward to trying this and maybe just omting the coffee… We will see. But thanks for the share.XOXO
i love anything pumpkin! esp coffee 🙂 it doesn’t hurt to make it at home and save cals on a drink 😉
: ) me too! & I’m a coffee lover too! x
I’ve been holding out on a pumpkin spice latte this year because I don’t want all the sugar. Can’t wait to try this recipe!! This is the second post I’ve seen this week that uses liquid stevia in a recipe. How did I not know about this??
Thanks!

It’s so good! Just make sure it’s only stevia ( nothing else added ).
oooh love this- that looks way easier than some other PSL recipes I’ve seen! And I def always have pumpkin on hand during the fall, so that’s perfect! 🙂 I will be trying this!
: ) yay! Glad you like it! x
Hi Lauryn,
What brand of pumpkin puree do you use?
Larissa
Hi! I use a generic brand ( nothing special )– I just like the cans that are BPA-free & 100% pure pumpkin ( no other added ingreds ). xx.
Going to try this Saturday AM – sounds yummy
This drink is perfect for lazy weekends : ) x
OMG! I’m definitely gonna try it! Such a great alternatives to Starbucks drinks, which are full of sugar!

Just be careful when blending super hot liquid – sometimes it can cause the top of my blender to pop off!
Good call! Maybe let it cool a little before you throw it in the blender. xx
OMG this totally happened to me this morning when I was all excited to try it HAHA! There was pumpkin spice all ova my kitchen…and ME! Should totally have known to let it cool down a bit! Now that the mess is cleaned up, it was totally hilarious
And delicious!!!!!!!!!
I love this! I actually haven’t had a PSL from Starbucks yet this year, because they’re just too sugary for me. I can’t wait to try this healthy version. Loving the plaid mug — very fall. 🙂
Thanks lady! x
Love this recipe! Anything to quit starbucks is great in my book:)
Agreed!
This looked so yummy! I will have to try it. x

Thanks Jen! x
This post makes me so happy! I love anything pumpkin and coffee related, but hate syrups that most coffee shops use. Can’t wait to try this!
Lauren – can you please what brand of pumpkin purée you use? Thanks! Xoxo

I was totally gonna ask you where you got those mugs, then saw the link! Oh, Willam Sonoma. That place never fails me. Totally going to make this. I’ve seen quite a few recipes for pumpkin spice lattes, but this is the first I’m actually going to bookmark, because it sounds the best out of the recipes I’ve seen! I can’t stand the taste of stevia, so I’ll be substituting raw honey. Otherwise, this looks like perfection. Espesh in the plaid mug. Yay for fall and all fall-ish things!
Raw honey sounds yummy!!
oooh yummy!! A pumpkin spice with actual pumpkin. Going to have to try this
this looks like a great alternative to starbucks! i, myself, am not a coffee drinker so may sub the coffee for some sort of chocolate ha
Cacao would be good too!
My gosh that looks like a hug in a mug that looks like a hug.
Never had a pumpkin spice latte, but looks like I might have to start. You’ve just made me excited for Autumn/Fall!
🙂
I’m so excited for fall! Ahhh.
I’ve never had a PSL, but this recipe is definitely worth a try!
: )
I already and a snob of gmo, pesticides, non-organic coffee, etc. But after reading your posts, now I look at Starbucks like it’s poison lol. I’ve been throwing pumpkin pie spice in my organic coffee but totally need to get pumpkin puree now to up it up. Love your post and the pics! I love how its pumpkin flavored everythang now in the stores. By the way I made your easy peasy pumpkin pie recipe last year for Thanksgiving and all my friends loved it!
Ahhh, me too! It kind of is poison. I mean, I love an iced green tea but you just don’t know what you’re getting anymore. Glad you liked the pumpkin pie recipe! Yay!
I am totally in love with your mugs!
Thanks babe! x
This looks wonderful! 😀

I can’t wait to whip this up for a cozy late afternoon snack! Those mugs…..so amazing-town,I’d be tempted to drink poison out of them. 😉

Will do! Thanks for reading doll!
Delish!!! My beau and I loved it and I reposted on Instagram for my friends and fam. Thanks for sharing!! Xo
Yay! Glad you liked it! x
Can’t wait to go to TJ’s after work to get this recipe! Wondering I can make it on ice with cold brew coffee concentrate from TJ’s, just a quick thought. 🙂
http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=1708
Yes cold brew works fab! x
Making this tomorrow!! PS the candy corn at Whole Foods is GMO free, no artificial colors etc and taste DELICIOUS 🙂
Is Libbys pumpkin pie ok for this? Silly question I know but I want to be sure. Lol!!!
Yes; as long as it’s just pumpkin puree : ) x.
This is great!! I am always looking for some low-sugar drink recipes. Today is World Diabetes Day so this post is very fitting! I struggle with drinking too much sugar.
Just discovered your blog and I love it!! But I thought I’d say be careful with giving too much pumpkin to your dogs- because it’s a stool hardener. On the other hand if they’re having runny stool pumpkin is a great natural remedy!
Recipe for Starbucks chai latte please!! And matcha 😛
Great article. Not had my PSL from SB yet but it does make this my fave time of year.
What is a good pumpkin alternative when ordering at a coffee shop?
