HEALTHY PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE + FALL GOLDEN "MILK"

Whether you prefer your own homemade lattes, Starbucks, Pete's, Dunkin', or mom-n-pop local coffee shops, we wanted to bring you a healthy lil' gem you could make at home (for when you're not in a hurry scooting through a drive-thru after busy school lines or baseball practice). Mama, meet this healthy pumpkin spice latte AND this fall golden milk!

PS - Not a coffee drinker? I'm not either, so that's why I wanted to make a recipe that could work either way...as a latte OR as golden milk. So, from my home kitchen to yours, I hope this gives you allllll the fall feels, and warms your belly as much as your sweet soul.

This homemade pumpkin spice latte is made with real food ingredients, has anti-inflammatory properties, and is as cozy in your belly as you are in our new fall retail line, which you can shop here.
