Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe🎃

I tried a homemade pumpkin spice latte. Here's the recipe I followed to make one at home:

*The changes I made: used instant coffee, used unsweetened almond milk and added more, used stevia instead of sugar (1 Tbsp), added sugar-free vanilla creamer, and used sugar-free whipped cream.

Ingredients:

1 cup of brewed strong coffee or 2 shots of espresso

1/2 cup of milk (whole milk, skim milk, almond milk, or any milk of your choice)

2 tablespoons of pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1-2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice (or a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)

1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Whipped cream (optional)

Cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Brew Coffee or Espresso: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee or making two shots of espresso.

Heat Milk and Pumpkin Puree: In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk and pumpkin puree over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is hot but not boiling. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Add Sugar and Spices: Stir in the sugar, pumpkin pie spice (or your spice mixture), and vanilla extract. Continue to heat and stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is hot, but do not let it boil.

Blend or Froth: You can use an immersion blender or a frother to create a creamy texture. If you don't have either, simply whisk vigorously until the mixture is frothy.

Combine with Coffee: Pour the pumpkin spice milk mixture into your brewed coffee or espresso and stir well.

Top with Whipped Cream: If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of your pumpkin spice latte.

Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra flavor and a decorative touch.

Serve: Your homemade pumpkin spice latte is ready to enjoy! Serve it in your favorite mug and sip while it's still warm.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness and spice level to your liking. That is what I did. (See notes above) You can also experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or soy, to suit your dietary preferences. I loved using this recipe as the base for my homemade latte.

NEVER SAY NO TO PIZZA AGAIN

Growing up we had pizza at least once a week. My father was born and raised in Brooklyn and man, did he love his pizza. He would call home every Thursday and ask, “did your mother cook?” to which I would always sarcastically reply “of course not, it’s pizza night!” and then he would say “call up Dickie Dees, order a large pie with extra cheese and pepperoni, well done. Tell them ‘Jimmy’ will be there in ten minutes.” Some of my favorite memories with my dad include us either ordering pizza and watching WWE, or stopping at random hole in the wall pizza joints to see what they were about.

I’ll never forget, two weeks after getting my tonsils removed my mother got called into work for an emergency meeting and my father was responsible for feeding my siblings and I dinner that night. Guess what he ordered?

A large, extra cheese and pepperoni pie, well done from Dickie Dee’s in Newark, NJ.

The problem? I couldn’t eat solid foods yet!

Did that stop me? NOPE. My father and I sat there and cut up two slices of pizza into the tiniest, bite size pieces and I chewed them up until they were soft enough to swallow. It may have taken me thirty minutes to eat two slices of pizza, but Dad didn’t raise a quitter 💪🏽

When I decided to start losing weight as an adult, I knew I would never be successful if my meals were limited to baked chicken and broccoli or boring Cesar salads.

That’s when I learned about flexible dieting and calories in VS calories out.

For years, the media has glorified weight pills, surgeries, or overly restrictive diets for weight loss. I’m living proof that you can lose weight without giving up your favorite foods (or getting surgeries that restrict your diet for the rest of your life anyways).

I’ve been counting calories for the last two years, and I’m watching the pounds shed off week by week. I recommend everyone try this method at least once and try to do it for three months to give yourself time to see results.

The first thing you need to do is calculate how many calories you should be consuming. I recommend using this website to do that. These are going to be your maintenance calories. In order to lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit (meaning you need to eat less calories than you burn.) If you’re just starting out, I recommend a 3-400 deficit.

So let’s say your maintenance calories are 2400 calories per day. Subtract 400 from that, and you have the amount of calories you should be eating in a deficit, 2000 calories. I like to think about these calories as dollars (bare with me)

So let’s say you have $2000 (or 2000 calories). How you chose to spend those $2000 is completely up to you.

If you have a nice, low calorie breakfast and you want to go to McDonalds for lunch and order a Big Mac with large fries, a large coke and an apple pie go for it. Just remember that you still need to be within the 2000 calorie range in order to see results. So if you had that nice, low calorie breakfast, and then you ordered everything off the dollar menu at McDonalds for lunch, chances are you’re going to have to make some sacrifices and eat that boring old cesar salad for dinner.

It all comes down to calories in VS calories out.

With all that being said, there are plenty of ways you can make some of your favorite meals at home for half the calories without sacrificing flavors. One of the ways I’m able to eat pizza three times a week while losing weight is by making my own at home! As promised in my previous post, I’ll walk you through the recipe and leave the macros below!

Ingredients

1 Cup of self rising flour (this is super important!)

¾ Cup of Non-fat plain Greek yogurt

¼ cup of your favorite pizza sauce (homemade is best!)

56g of low fat or fat free mozzarella cheese

17g of turkey pepperoni (optional)

4g salt

4g garlic powder

Preheat your oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Start by adding ¾ cup of your yogurt to a bowl, along with the salt and garlic powder. You can feel free to add whatever seasonings you’d like here, but I feel like the salt and garlic give the dough that classic NYC pizza dough flavor. Add in ¼ cup of flour at a time and stir until combined. If you have a stand mixer, use your dough hook to make this part a little easier on yourself. If not, a wooden spoon is fine! I tend to use a little less than a full cup of flour, but I keep the remaining to the side to sprinkle on the counter while kneading/rolling out the dough.

Once your dough comes together and is still a little tacky, flour your work space and start rolling out that pizza dough to your designed shape and thickness. Place the dough on a nonstick oven safe pan (I got my 10” pizza pans at Big Lots on sale for ten cents!! Check your local discount stores’ sale sections!) and place in your preheated oven for ten to fifteen minutes. It is important to cook the dough before adding any sauce or toppings so it can cook evenly. Once the dough starts to rise a bit, remove from the oven and start adding your toppings.

I like to use homemade sauce because it just taste the best in my opinion, but you can use whatever you’d like! Keep in mind that the calories will differ depending on what brand you use.

Once you have your pizza assembled, place it back into the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. I like to spray the crust with a little bit of cooking spray for that beautiful golden brown color!

Take the pizza out of the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before cutting. Slice your pizza into 6-8 slices and enjoy!

If you follow these instructions to the T, you will have an entire pizza that is only 620calories, 2.3g fat, 102g carbs and 48g protein!

Give this recipe a shot and let me know how you like it!
