Bring a taste of the fall season to your day by adding Pumpkin Spice! Get creative with your coffees and protein drinks by adding a dash of flavor. You can also use cinnamon, nutmeg, and other seasonings for delicious beverages without all the sugar.
We checked out the menus of some of the most popular coffee chains in the US. If you want one of their pumpkin flavored specialty drinks, be prepared to get a massive dose of sugar in your system!
The amount of sugar is definitely an eye-opener! Scroll down to find some ITG recipes that will help you celebrate Fall with pumpkin spice, but without all those carbs and calories.
