Paleo Friendly Pumpkin Spice Latte

Tomorrow officially marks two months since my brothers came to live with us. It is also their first day of school, signifying the end of summer. Which is a little mind boggling because I feel like summer just started and I barely accomplished anything on my summer bucket list. But I’m moving right along and diving head first into fall! And what better way to get into the fall spirit than the oh-so-delicious pumpkin spice latte!? But, unfortunately, for those of us trying to eat healthy, the pumpkin spice lattes you get at Starbucks are not the best option.

A few months ago I discovered Bulletproof coffee and the idea of using unsalted grassfed butter in my coffee instead of milk or creamer. It was life changing. The thought of butter in my coffee sounded disgusting BUT I finally tried it and it did not disappoint. It was rich, creamy, and delicious. So I played around with adding different flavors and mixes… usually I keep it simple. I typically add unsalted butter, honey & pure vanilla extract when I’m craving a latte-like coffee drink. A friend of mine then decided to expand on that and add in pureed pumpkin & pumpkin spice to create a healthy pumpkin spice latte! Yes, please. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte

4-6 oz. fresh brewed coffee

1 tablespoon unsalted grassfed butter or ghee

1 tablespoon pureed pumpkin (I use canned pumpkin)

1 teaspoon honey

¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

splash of pure vanilla extract (to taste) 

Directions: Combine all ingredients in blender (I like to use my magic bullet) until frothy. Voila! Healthy & delicious!
