Low-Calorie Alternative To Pumpkin Spice Latte
Harrison posted a video to his TikTok account @TrizzleManFitness sharing the Starbucks hack. He explains the importance of not drinking your calories: “If you’re on a weight loss journey, you need to try to avoid drinking as many liquid calories as possible.” He notes that the venti size of the pumpkin spice latte is 470 calories, not to mention packed with sugar.
Instead, he offers a surprisingly delicious alternative. First, order a grande shaken espresso, and make sure it’s a blonde espresso. Ask for it to be made with almond milk, and add two pumps of pumpkin syrup, and make sure they don’t add any classic syrup. And finally, for a little sweetness, add one packet of Splenda. And viola! A delicious and weight loss friendly pumpkin spice latte alternative.
