Today's the first day of a wonderful thing - the first official day that Starbucks serves the Pumpkin Spice Latte!!

Oh hello, Fall in a cup. How wonderful of you to join us. We've been waiting for you.

And they've also got Toffee Mocha this year, too. *drool*

Anyone looking forward to treating themselves to a little nonfat latte?

And just FYI - a tall nonfat no whip PSL clocks in at 200 cals, a short (n/f, no whip) comes in at 130.
(The Toffee Mocha info is not yet available on Sbux' website. Hmmph.)

    I always get excited about fall, pumpkin is one of my favorite things! Between that and the red cups I am torn at Starbucks! LOL I have learned how to make my own pumpkin coffee to save $ and calories. Starbucks is always a nice reward treat for myself. Especially on chilly days, I take my laptop and work there for a little while just to get out of the house.

    I love these, but have made my own recipe for 100 cals and costs maybe 50 cents

    Please do share!! I'll :sad: if you don't.

    Have you guys tried the Pumpkin Pie Latte at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf? If you like pure pumpkin flavor, that's the one to go for.

    I know! I used to be a barista and lived for the day we could start using gingerbread. I love pumpkin, and I love coffee, but I just cannot get into mixing the two of them. LOL. I know I'm in the VAST minority with that.

    I found getting the iced coffee with the psl flavoring is awesome. you use way less milk. you pretty much just count the syrup and small amount of milk. its awesome

    Yayyy! I got one yesterday - iced with nonfat milk and no whip. It is worth the calories. :heart: Red Mango is also going to serve Pumpkin Spice flavored frozen yogurt soon which I am looking forward to as well! :love:

    Got my PSL today!! Tall, nonfat, no whip. One of these days I think I'm going to have to treat myself to one with 2% and whip, just because I don't think it is fair to have this liquid wonderfulness available without taking one moment to enjoy it in its full glory.

    I'll have to try it iced! Thanks for the suggestion!
