Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
By: | Nov 20, 2009
Fall is here! Do you want to know how I know that? No, it's not because my calendar told me so. It's because Edy's Pumpkin Frozen Dairy Dessert and Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea are back on the shelves! Plus, the talented Starbucks baristas are already whipping up the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte.

To get the most bang for your nutritional buck, specialize your drink as a Tall Nonfat Pumpkin Spice Latte with no Whipped Cream. In this respect, your comforting fall treat will contain 200 calories, no fat but still 37 grams of sugar (ouch!), 11 grams of protein and 40% of the daily value forcalcium. Here's the trick to reducing the sugar and calories a little more ... special order. Since Starbucks has yet to offer a sugar free version of their seasonal latte, ask for half of the pumps of that sugary pumpkin syrup (I promise you won't miss it).
Of course, you could order a Tall Cafe Latte with Nonfat milk (100 calories and 14 grams of sugar) or Hot Tazo Tea (o calories) and save a slew of calories (and some cash, especially since the Pumpkin Spice Latte is a quite pricy at $3.49 for a Tall), but I dare say that indulging in the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte every now and then is well worth it. And luckily, since it's a seasonal item, it won't be here to tempt you for too long!

This is one of my favorite holiday drinks. However, be careful because some Starbucks suck at making this drink. I even had the "skinny" version of the Starbuck's eggnog latte and almost barfed because the person made it horriblely.
Love the breakdown of nutritional info! I've been dying to try a Pumpkin latte but had no idea what type of nutrition info it had--now I know and can't wait to try one!
Love the Starbucks PSL. Definitely expensive-- it's almost a good thing there isn't a close Starbucks to me, or I'd be buying it daily! After trying it, it's hard to go back to Dunkin Donuts' version of it. I'm all for "limited time" or Christmas themed drinks, so I love this!
Ohh that sounds yummy! I no longer get Starbucks unless it's a special occasion and one just happens to be coming up as we go to Jamaica next month and I always pick up a coffee in the airport. So I might just have to try this one!
