Ahhhhhh Fall is in the air my friends. Can you feel it? What is not to love! Cozy sweaters, gorgeous leaves changing colors, trendy Fall boots, warm lattes with pumpkin spice (you know… PSL’s) and just about everything nice! Even better news, is what if I told you that I have the most amazing pumpkin spice latte recipe for you today that is also sugar free. Well, it’s true. Not only is this recipe absolutely delicious and easy to make but it is one of the healthiest ones you can find. You’d never guess this is a low carb sugar-free pumpkin spice latte. Did you know most of the fancy lattes out there don’t even use real pumpkin? Since I am basically never impressed with all these mediocre lattes I knew I could make a homemade pumpkin spice latte that would taste even better than ones from the local coffee spots without all of the sugar. Who’s coming over for a moment of PSL bliss?

Add next the pure vanilla extract and MCT oil (if using). Use a milk frother to blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy, and everything is well blended.

Make a double or triple batch, the mixture will last for 2-3 days in the fridge. I also give the option of adding MCT oil for those who would like to sip on this all morning long and have it fill you up and help curb hunger.
