I just made this for my breakfast and WOW! it's delish!

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Unjury)
1 tablespoon fresh or canned pumpkin (don't use pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/2 cup skim milk (or use rice or soy milk)
2 teaspoons Splenda (or stevia if you prefer)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon instant coffee

Heat water in microwave and stir in instant coffee.

Combine:

Coffee, as prepared above
milk
pumpkin
protein powder
apple pie spice
sweetener

Blend until well-combined (I use a Magic Bullet). Heat in microwave or pour over ice to serve.

Check out these stats!

150 cals.
24 grams protein
11 grams carb, 9.5 grams sugar.

Just tried it, yum!! I didnt have the vanilla protein powder. I also used pumpkin pie spice instead of apple pie spice since I didnt have that either. I like it!

I have been eating Dryers (also called Edy's I think in some locations) pumpkin ice cream. It is the "slow turned" variety with half the fat. It is soooooo good.

The other day at my froyo shop they had the carb-lite (fat free, sugar free frozen yogurt) in pumpkin pie. Wow, that was delish! I can't do the Dryers version because of the sugar but I know from "back in the day" how good it is!

Your version of the latte without the protein powder is also a great alternative for anyone who doesn't like the taste of protein powder. The stats are still great if you're watching your calories, plus you get the benefit of some milk/calcium in your diet.

I also have a variation of this that makes a pumpkin pie pudding, I will try that this weekend and report back!
