Pumpkin Spice Latte....delish!

This week's post is not just a coffee evaluation, it is an ode to the delightful Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. When Fall hit this year, the first thing that came to my mind is that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is now available at Starbucks. Even the worship leader at my church announced to everyone it is now the season of the season of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. This drink is by far my favorite at Starbucks. It is the perfect combination of coffee, spices, and pumpkin flavor and topped with delicious whipped cream.


The only downside to this drink, if you can imagine there is one, is that is a little on the hefty side of having 380 calories and 13g of fat for a grande size. Those calories decrease significantly if you order nonfat milk and no whipped cream- to 260 calories and 0g of fat. A grande size will cost you around $4.00 and in my opinion it is worth it! Hurry up and get one before the season runs out. And just remember it'll be back next year!

  1. Oh Wow! I love this latte! When I was at Washburn, I got really homesick and would go sit at starbucks and order this because it reminds me of cooking pumpkins with grandma and just the overrall holiday spirit with the family! Thanks for sharing this! I definitely need to get in touch with this latte again!
