I found this recipe today....apparently only 65 cals a serving!!!
1 1/2 cups non-fat milk
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp Splenda
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1/2 cup light whipped topping
Ground cinnamon, to taste
Add milk to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and Splenda. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
Add 1/4 cup coffee to a medium coffee mug. Add 1/4 of the milk mixture then top with 2 Tbsp light whipped topping and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Repeat for remaining servings.
** if you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by using 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/8 tsp nutmeg and 1/8 tsp ground cloves.

Why why why, did you post this???
I was starting to forget that starbucks existed. Now I know they are serving my favorite flavor coffee. Grrrr. Now I will have to go out of my way to go and get one(I live in the sticks now so it is a 30 min drive to get to a starbucks). At least the calories aren't as bad as I thought.
Starbucks is evil.
Well hopefully I will forget about it by the time the cool weather hits here cause I don't dink coffee when it is still warm. Don't tell me to get the iced. :-)0 -

THIS SOUNDS DELICIOUS!
It's 1:30 in the morning and I now have the urge to go to the store lol.0 -
Fine. I won't tell you to go to Starbucks.
Go to Coffee bean & Tea Leaf! They've got a pumpkin pie latte!! :devil:
I dont think that we have those down here... i have never seen them, or heard about them. Then I would have to go alot futher just for coffee.... that is not gonna happen.0 -
I enjoyed a venti today!!! was delish, nonfat, no whip, and about 330 cal if I recall... I added it to the food database w/ the info from their site. I've waited a year for this!!!
PS- I planned for this indulgence and still was under my daily goals (not usually habit- I lose more when I gobble all of them up)0 -

Well that's what I get for assuming CB&TL is everywhere. We've got plenty in Southern California.
clintswifey - thanks for adding it to the database! I added it to my food log when I divulged, but remember having to mess with the numbers a bit.0 -
My favorite time of the year! I'm a little pertubed at how many more calories it is than my regular tall skinny vanilla latte, so I usually still stick with my go-to drink, but if I have the extra calories, I splurge on this delicious beverage. Pumpkin is pretty much the best flavor ever. I gorge on it through the fall/winter, and then am ready for it to come again the next year.0

Whenever I feel like treating myself and have some remaining calories, I splurge and get a tall soy latte... The soy milk is nutty and delicious and if you add a pack of splenda and a splash of cinnamon, it's totally dessert worthy And high in protein and good fats!
Details:
12 oz soy latte
120 calories
4.5 g fat
10g carbohydrate
1 g fibre
8 g protein
I find this way more filling than a nonfat latte because the soy milk is more substantial. Maybe it's all in my head ... hehe But it's a great fall treat! Another great fall drink is a soy milk chai tea london fog, which consists of one chai tea bag, 6 oz hot water, 6 oz steamed soy milk and 1 pump of sugar free vanilla syrup (have to ask for SF). It is not on the menu so you have to order it specifically, but you can get it anywhere (not just SB) and it's wicked delicious!! And even less calories than the latte. Enjoy

for anyone interested in making lattes at home and by the way only 40 calories! try this...
take I cup almond breeze original unsweetened milk and microwave for 2 minutes.
Add instant coffee of your choice ( I had hazelnut single serve plus some extra decaf to make it stronger)
Add sugar free flavoring syrup (I used caramel)
Whip all the ingredients together. I bought an amazing tool called an aerolatte from BBB for 15 bucks. It whips up the milk so its nice and frothy. Go nuts and make different flavors, I'm sure adding pumpkin spice would be delicious!0 -
I think that I will stick with my Oregon Chai latte mix.... 120 calories and is my other favorite.... still might get the pumpkin spice one day if I do a nice workout and want to treat myself.0

LOVE Oregon Chai! That stuff is divine.0 -
Pumpkin is good for you. It has anti-imflammatory properties.
For 130 calories, you can make yourself Pumpkin Spice Cider buy adding a Pumpkin spice tea bag to a mug of hot apple juice. Stash and Bigelow make pumpkin spice tea. 0 Calories if you make it with hot water.
Pumpkin seeds have health benefits as well. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=82

If you're thinking of baking something pumpkiny, you gotta try the pumpkin strudel caramel muffin thingers! From the Hungry Girl collection of desserts. My hubby just LOVES these things! Couldn't believe they came from a healthy recipe:

Tomorrow is the first day of fall! I have been waiting patiently... and I am celebrating with a PS Latte! :drinker: (Now, if only we had fall temps... it was 100 degrees here yesterday!) Hoping I can make do with pumpkin spice creamer from then until the red cups are here!
I noticed that salted caramel hot chocolate is back for the holidays (at least, it is on the website) :happy: :happy: and I'm going to have to do A LOT of exercise to fit that into my day! Hmmm... how many calories can I burn walking around looking at Christmas lights??? Maybe we can do a walking tour this year? It's only a mile to Starbucks from my house! 0 -

That's such a great idea! Walk off those red cup calories by enjoying the twinkling lights of Christmas. I like the way you think!0
