When I think of fall, I think of pumpkin spice lattes (PSL). While classic PSL’s may be the sweet treat we crave as the seasons change, the many varieties made at coffeehouses are loaded with sugar, high fat milks and additives that leave you feeling bloated and tired.
Don’t worry! There is still a way to enjoy the indulgent flavors of this beloved latte thanks to this easy, naturally sweetened homemade alternative that just-so-happens to be Fx™-approved.
Can I Make This With Traditional Dairy Milk?
Yes. While we highly recommend using Heinen’s coconut milk, you can use traditional dairy milk.
Can I Turn This Latte Into a Smoothie?
Absolutely! If you want to make this into a smoothie, add a cup of ice while blending. One whole banana will help create a smoothie-like texture, too!
Can I Use My Frother?
Of course! Using the frother will add a nice coffeehouse-inspired touch, but it is not necessary. You can still get that high-end latte taste and texture without fancy equipment.
