As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the air becomes crisp and cool, it can only mean one thing – pumpkin season is here! Everywhere you go, pumpkin is impossible to avoid! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin cakes, and cookies. The pumpkin aroma fills the air at all of your most frequented restaurants. Your friends are eager to share this year’s pumpkin Pinterest recipe finds on their social media feed. Even your colleague’s morning cup of Joe is a reminder that pumpkin season has arrived.
The Challenge of Staying Keto During Pumpkin Season
It sounds like I am complaining, but the truth is I love it! Pumpkin is the first sign that the holiday season is right around the corner. When pumpkin appears, Thanksgiving and Christmas are soon to follow. It is by far my favorite time of year. However, being on keto can be difficult during this time. Most pumpkin treats are loaded with sugar and carbs. Needless to say, these are both off-limits if you want to stay in ketosis. Luckily we live in a time where finding delicious keto-friendly options is at our fingertips!
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte: A Keto Dilemma
For those of you that follow me, you know that I am a huge fan of coffee, especially Starbucks coffee! I used to LOVE Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. I still desire it when I pick up my coffee this time of year. I decided this year that rather than fight the temptation, I will come up with a recipe of my own.
This keto pumpkin spice latte recipe is keto-friendly and absolutely delicious. While it doesn’t taste exactly like a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, it certainly satisfies my cravings. I can now have my daily dose of pumpkin, the keto way!
If you’re on a keto diet, you know that finding low-carb and sugar-free options can be a challenge. This is especially true during the fall season, where pumpkin-flavored treats and beverages seem to be everywhere you look. The good news is that it is possible to enjoy the flavors of fall while still sticking to your keto diet.
This keto pumpkin spice latte recipe is a great example of how you can indulge in seasonal flavors without derailing your diet. This recipe is simple, easy to make, and can be customized to your liking.
Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients
- 6 ounces water
- 2 tbsp coffee
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin
- 7 drops stevia
Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte Instructions
1. Brew the coffee.
2. While coffee is brewing, place all other ingredients in a blender (I use a Nutribullet).
3. Add brewed coffee to blender and blend all ingredients together.
4. Serve in your favorite coffee mug. Enjoy!
One of the great things about this recipe is that it can be customized to your liking. If you prefer your latte to be sweeter, you can add more stevia. If you like a stronger coffee flavor, you can adjust the amount of coffee you use. You can even add a dash of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra indulgent treat.
Not only is this recipe delicious, but it’s also a great way to satisfy your pumpkin cravings while staying in ketosis. Plus, it’s a great alternative to the sugary and carb-laden pumpkin treats that are so prevalent this time of year.
In conclusion, if you’re on a keto diet, there’s no need to miss out on the flavors of fall
