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)

90 Calorie Mocha Protein Latte

I needed a caffeine and protein fix after Pure Barre this morning so I made this Mocha Protein Iced Latte :)

This was really good and much healthier than a Starbucks latte :)

This is gluten free, dairy free, and vegan!

Recipe:

1 cup Almond Milk - 40 calories

1/2 serving Chocolate Protein Powder - 45 calories

1 cup coffee - 5 calories                                             

= 90 calories

1. Freeze 1/4 cup almond milk in ice cube tray(if desired) and make coffee ahead of time and store in refrigerator

2. Blend almond milk, coffee, and protein powder until the protein powder is fully dissolved

3. Serve cold :)

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 :)

100 Calorie Iced Chai Latte

I love my VegaOne Protein powder, and I love Iced Lattes so I decided to try them together!

This recipe made one VERY large Iced Chai Latte so feel free to cut the recipe in half or save some for later!

Recipe:

12 oz. Iced Coffee

1/2 scoop Vega One Vanilla Chai Protein Powder

6 oz. Almond Milk

First I mixed the almond milk and protein powder, this helps to make sure that the protein powder fully dissolves and you don't end up with chunks in your latte. Next, add the coffee, stir it up, sip and enjoy!

I would like to note that the 365 brand almond milk is actually the BEST almond milk I have EVER tried, it is creamier and closer to regular milk than any other brand I have tried! Even if you are not dairy free I highly recommend it!
