Pumpkin Spice Latte

Earlier this week Dave and I did something that's very out of character for us....we woke up early but decided to skip the gym to sit on the back patio and sip coffee. It was a very peaceful, retirement-esq moment. And only about 30 years ahead of schedule ;)

Guess what Dave's cup said?
Because we rarely slow down long enough to even put milk in the coffee the Keurig brews into our to-go mugs I decided to take advantage of the moment and make a couple all natural, chemical free pumpkin spice lattes.

Totally delicious and guilt free and worth the few minutes of prep required. Enjoy!

Ingredients: (single serving)
3 Tbs pumpkin puree
1/2 - 1 cup unsweetened Vanilla almond milk
1 shot espresso
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs honey
Preparing for old age

Directions:
Turn on stove to low heat. In a sauce pan mix your almond milk and pumpkin together with a whisk. Once your pumpkin is melted your milk should turn a brown-orange color. Add in remaining ingredients and whisk for a few more seconds (or toss in a blender if you want it extra frothy.)
Pour into your espresso and top with cinnamon, nutmeg and/or pumpkin spice
