Fall


Fall is here! I'm excited to run outdoors in the cooler temps and witness fall foliage. Along with the season change comes all the pumpkin recipes. If you are a Pumpkin Spice Latte fan from Starbucks, please be aware of it's nutritional value before you drink it.

For a 16 oz. Pumpkin Spice Latte with 2% Milk and Whipped Cream:

Calories: 380
Calories from fat: 120
Total fat: 13g
Total Carb: 51g
Total Sugar: 49g
Protein: 14g

49g of SUGAR! No bueno :(

I am excited for pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin protein bars, Pumpkin protein pancakes, & Pumpkin Cheese cake!!

  1. I love fall too. I buy pumpkin spice coffee from Green Mountain Coffee in the k cups, I make it myself. I think it tastes better than Starbucks. Starbucks flavor is kind of fake.
