"Yes, I know, I thought the very same thing when I first saw this in a magazine. However, I tried it and it's really very good! Who'd of guessed it, lol. The pumpkin melts right into the coffee and adds body and natural flavor. It's low in fat too so why not give it a try?"

Better than Starbucks!! Every fall Starbucks comes out with their Pumpkin Latte and every year we are disappointed by the diluted flavor and feel, but Annacia your Pumpkin Latte is over the moon yummy and does not have that diluted flavor or feel Bravo! I did make one minor change in that I used Splend brown sugar substitute instead of white and used the full 2 teaspoons along with the blender option. This is now a fall staple in our home, thank you so much.

Rich and smooth and very comforting. For the sweetener, I used Torani's sugar-free Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Syrup and cut back on the ground cinnamon, and used nutmeg and ginger for the pumpkin pie spice. Made for a nice pick-me-up after work on Christmas Eve day!
