Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte

November 6, 2007

'Tis the season of seasonal drinks, and coffee is no exception. Starbucks is now offering a Pumpkin Spice Latte, just in time for Thanksgiving. They explain the drink as "a delicious blend of pumpkin and traditional fall spice flavors combined with our signature espresso and freshly steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices."

I don't know about you, but I am not that interested in blending my latte with pumpkin spices. I would drink my coffee and have my pie on the side. Just in case you are headed to Starbucks to try this latte, you might want to know what you are about to get into calorie-wise.

Flavor (Grande 16 oz.)	Calories	Fat calories	Carbs (g)	Sugar (g)
Pumpkin Spice Latte, Non Fat, No Whip	260	5	50	48
Pumpkin Spice Latte Whole Milk Fat, With Whip	380	13	51	49
Caffe Latte, Non Fat, No Whip	130	0	19	18

I included a regular ol' non fat latte so you could see that the pumpkin spice flavoring adds 130 calories if you order the non fat version of the flavored drink. Not to mention there's an extra 30 grams of sugar added too. Of course, I think if you are going to try the seasonal drink you will order it with non fat milk and no whipped cream. Right?

I asked exactly what a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte contains and it is a Caffe Latte PLUS 4 pumps of Pumpkin Spice Syrup. (Nonfat, no-whip, of course) So, do the math. 1 pump of Pumpkin Spice Syrup has: Calories: 32.5 Carbs: 7.75 Sugar: 7.5 I've gotten my Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte with 2 pumps and it really is more than enough flavor! Next time, and beyond, I'm getting it with only 1 pump, so there will be zero guilt and I'll be able to enjoy them all winter long! You should try the same!

Since I love pumpkin spice lattes and not the calories, I decided to see if I could make something non fat. I think it is a great substitute!3 cups hot half skim milk and half non fat half and half4 teaspoons splenda1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 6 ounces double-strength brewed coffee non fat whipping or just don't add it!3 pinches pumpkin pie spice I like it enough to drink instead of the real thing. Let me know your thoughts.

I *know* it's bad for me, that's what makes it so good!I was so good though last year. I didn't have a single gingerbread latte and it's my favourite drink in the whole world!!

does nonfat milk=skim? or is it from a magical skinny cow? :P ummm ok im sad that my yummy soy milk is a lil fattening. and i tried the pumpkin one last year or the year before and maybe i got a bad batch but it wasnt very tasty, it was a lil watered down, like i said, maybe i got one made by a non generous employee :P mannnnnnnnn im craving one though. i would still get these just not every day, u have to indulge every once in a while or else whats the point of being living if you arent going to do the things u love (like drink yummy drinks) :)

If you add a little ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg in your regular coffee, you get that yummy holiday spicy aroma and taste.

Sorry, but I love these. I'm obsessed with any of Starbucks' holiday drinks. What I do if I'm really craving it is only have the drink for breakfast and have a healthy lunch and dinner.

unfortunately for me I'm allergic (not lactose intolerant) to dairy so I shouldn't have it. I try to eat yogurt once a week, but shouldn't have anything dairy otherwise if I do. I just went to get a GBL and got it with NF Milk to try that way and #1 it tastes GROSS (I think the vanilla flavor of soy helps it out a bit) and #2 I've already begun wheezing which means I'll have a full out asthma attack before the day is out. BOO me. I should have known better!

These are just too good for coffee drinks. I just knew that there would be a loophole even with the nonfat, no-whip version. *sigh*

ur_momm - for strictly a latte here is the comparison of nonfat milk and soy for a tall(grande/venti soy in parens): calories 120(160/210) milk vs. 160 (210/270) soy fat 0 (0/0) milk vs. 4.5 (6/8) soy
