50 Calorie Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte





Califia Farms makes AMAZING almond milk/coffee blends - and this year they made a Pumpkin Spice Latte version! Their blends don't have quite enough coffee for my taste, and they have quite a few calories - so I like to dilute their mix with my own coffee to make a lower calorie latte

This is gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!



Recipe:
1/2 cup Califia Pumpkin Spice Coffee Mix - 50 calories
12 oz coffee (more or less to taste)

35 Calorie Pumpkin Spice Latte




I promised a recipe for a Skinny/Dairy free Pumpkin Spice Latte, so here it is!

This was the perfect morning pick-me-up before a day at the Pumpkin Patch :) Pumpkin Spice Lattes definitely get me in the Fall Spirit - and this version comes without a stomach ache or all the extra sugar and calories :)




This is Gluten Free, Dairy free and only 35 calories for about 1.5 Grande Lattes - 
(A Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte From Starbucks has 380 Calories!)





Recipe: (makes enough for the amount of coffee in a Grande)

1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk - 20 calories
1 or 2 packets Stevia (depending on how sweet you want it to be)
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tablespoon Pumpkin Puree - 5 calories
2 tablespoons Soy Whip - 10 calories                       
= 35 calories

1. Mix together the Almond milk, Stevia, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Pumpkin
2. Mix into 16oz. coffee (a Grande from Starbucks - the whole mixture will not fit in a grande cup)
3. Top with Soy Whip :)

60 Calorie Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake


Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks! Unfortunately their pumpkin spice syrup contains milk :( So I have to resort to making my own - stay tuned for my skinny/dairy free version of the actual latte

For now, you'll just have to settle for a Cake version of this fall treat - This really tastes like a Pumpkin Spice Latte in cake form, so if you aren't a big fan of coffee you may want to decrease the amount of coffee grounds - personally I thought the Pumpkin Spice flavored Coffee grounds smelled heavenly when I made this cake. 
Pro-tip: don't skimp on the whipped topping if you really want this to taste like a Pumpkin Spice Latte

This is under 60 Calories - Gluten free, Dairy free, and Vegan!




Recipe:
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Puree - 25 calories
2 tablespoons Unsweetened Apple Sauce - 12 calories
1 tablespoon Oat Flour - 22 calories
1 tablespoon Pumpkin Spice Coffee Grounds(or regular)
1 tablespoon Stevia                                                            
= 59 calories total

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together the pumpkin, apple sauce, flour, coffee grounds, and stevia
3. Pour the batter into a small greased cake or loaf pan(I used a mini fluted cake pan)
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the middle of the exposed part of the cake is set - serve with Whipped Topping for a true Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor :)
