At this time of year I am jealous of my friends who can walk into Starbucks and order a Pumpkin Spice Latte'! I LOVE everything pumpkin, but those specialty drinks have so much sugar I would end up in a coma in about 20 seconds!
So, I decided to experiment to see if I could come up with something similar that is diabetic friendly, with no sugar! Here is what I came up with - I think it tastes great!
You will need:
Pumpkin Spice coffee (Dunkin Donuts has it - you can buy it at Target)
Splenda
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Skim milk
Cool Whip - low fat
Prepare your coffee like you normally do! Add to your cup of coffee - 2 tsp splenda, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 2 tablespoons skim milk and stir. Add Low fat cool whip on top! Drink and enjoy
It's not Starbucks, but it will do in a pinch!
Happy Fall!
