My Starbucks trick makes a pumpkin spice latte healthier – you don’t have to sacrifice any of the flavor
A HEALTH-CONSCIOUS Starbucks fan has revealed how she orders a pumpkin spice latte at the coffee chain.
She claimed her take on the popular beverage makes the fall favorite a tad healthier.
Anne (@nourished_by_anne) filmed herself detailing how she uses the Starbucks app for a lighter latte in a video on TikTok.
“Pumpkin spice latte season is here — let’s find your balance on this one by tweaking a few things to make it better without compromising taste,” she said.
The nutrition whizz shared her step-by-step order for a fall Starbucks treat.
“Hey there, it’s the ATX dietitian telling you how to make a pumpkin spice latte a little bit healthier,” she said.
Anne recommended changing the milk option, choosing her favorite plant milk.
“First we’re going to go and change the milk. I like coconut. Next we’re going to go in and change the pumpkin sauce,” she advised.
She advised dividing the pumpkin sauce by half to decrease the sugar content.
“Cut it in half, it’s just sugar and condensed milk so you’ll need half of that. Then you’re going to add extra pumpkin spice topping. It’s just spices,” she said.
While she skipped out on whipped toppings, she made sure to add a little spice in other ways.
“No on whipped cream and then you’re going to go in and add a little bit more cinnamon if you like extra flavor like I do,” she said.
She said that making little tweaks to the cold-weather favorite can make all the difference nutritionally.
“So you change it, customize, and then you’re done and you’ve got a little bit healthier of a pumpkin spice latte. Enjoy,” she added.
The video drew in many pumpkin spice latte fans who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“I did this this morning,” one wrote.
