Fall is here and you know what that means…Pumpkin spiced everything! Tea, pies, cake, and of course, lattes and COFFEE!
Last year the “Foodbabe” was ranting about how Starbucks pumpkin spiced products were unhealthy and littered with chemicals so its no longer questionable if a simple black pumpkin spice coffee is healthy.
The largest problem with most pumpkin spiced food is that they are flavors and rather than being “spiced” they are artificially coated to give that pumpkin taste.
Do it yourself ensures that you stay away or at least minimize the exposure from contaminated foods that are leached with chemicals and artificial additives. Okay, I’ll stop now so you can go enjoy your HEALTHY PUMPKIN SPICED COFFEE!
