8 Healthy Pumpkin Spice Recipes That Are Better Than Lattes
Fall has finally fallen which means colder evenings, browner leaves and pumpkins everywhere. If you’re like us, you’ll love a PSL (Pumpkin Spiced Latte). However, with up to 420 calories and 50g of sugar in just one 16oz cup from Starbucks, it’s probably best not to have too many.
We don’t want you to miss out on that delicious flavor though, so we’ve collated the best and healthiest recipes on the internet to help you get your pumpkin spice fix, without adding inches to your waistline.
It also doesn’t hurt that pumpkins are loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C. As if you needed an excuse to read on.
