Fall-Favorite Pumpkin Spice In Compostable Hot Cups Did you know that a grande size pumpkin spice latte contains 50g of sugar? And, if you are planning to live healthy, this is something we would have to avoid. This recipe is all about making the best latte ever at home while making sure it is naturally sweetened and healthy. To make a healthy latte, you can prepare a compostable bowl full of pumpkin pie spices, some natural maple syrup, and real pumpkin puree, to avoid those OG lattes full of overly sweetened pumpkin puree. What Do You Need? Okay, let's get started! You would only be needing just a handful of ingredients to sip the relaxing fall coziness without the extra sugar. It's healthy, naturally sweetened, and won't leave with that after-guilt of sipping away heavily sugary drinks. Here's what you will need: Compostable Hot Cups: Our compostable hot cups are made from sugarcane bagasse and are also certified compostable. Being entirely plastic and paper-free, these cups come with a lid, making them super convenient for on-the-go. Plus, they are toxin-free, leak-free, heat-resistant, and safe to be used in a microwave or freezer. Compostable Bowls: Here's a bowlful of sustainability to sort all your pumpkin spices out. Made from upcycled plant waste, like sugarcane bagasse, these bowls are toxin-free, plastic-free, and paper-free. Bamboo Kitchen Paper Towels: We get it; cooking can be messy sometimes. But, you don't need to wipe the trees, to wipe the mess. This is why our bamboo kitchen paper towels, made from bamboo, are the perfect way to wipe the mess sustainably. Below are the main ingredients that you would need to make this drink: Expresso: You can use two shots of espresso or a normally brewed coffee if you don't like a high dose of caffeine. Milk: To add that creamy touch to your latte, you can use one that froths well, like normal milk or almond milk. Pumpkin Flavor: No more using that overly sweet pumpkin puree. This recipe includes real pumpkin puree, plus some pumpkin spice to get that fall flavor right. Sweetener: Instead of adding loads of sugar, use just 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to naturally sweeten the pumpkin spice latte. Whipped Cream: You can add whipped cream on the top to make it look like a cherry on the top. Some Ingredient Swaps For Pumpkin Spice Latte Don't have everything on the list? We have some easy swaps for you if you feel like you are running out: If you want to cut down on your caffeine a little bit or don't want your latte to be too much about coffee, you can replace expresso with 1/2 cup of coffee. If you feel like not using maple syrup, you can switch it with brown sugar and even honey. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice at home, you can simply mix some cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and ground cloves in a compostable bowl. 4 Simple Steps For Pumpkin Spice Latte Our homemade pumpkin spice latte is as easy as it gets.
