Nutritional Benefits

• Plant-based milk: Rich in vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and vitamin D, it often contains fewer calories and less saturated fat than dairy milk, making it heart-healthy.
• Pumpkin puree: High in beta-carotene (orange color), fiber, and vitamin A, pumpkin puree supports eye health and digestion while being low in calories.
• Medjool dates: Packed with natural sugars, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, dates provide a quick energy boost and support heart health.
• Cinnamon: Known for its antioxidant properties, cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation.
• Pumpkin spice: Typically a blend of warming spices, it offers various antioxidants and can aid digestion and boost metabolism.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: Rich in flavonoids, cocoa powder supports heart health, improves mood, and provides a dose of antioxidants, while being low in sugar and calories.

Substitutions

• Plant-based milk: Almond milk, soy milk (my favorite), oat milk, coconut milk, or rice milk.
• Pumpkin puree: Sweet potato puree, butternut squash puree, or mashed bananas.
• Medjool dates: Agave syrup, maple syrup, date syrup (my favorite), honey (if not strictly vegan), or other dried fruits like figs or raisins.
• Cinnamon: Nutmeg, allspice, or a spice blend like chai seasoning.
• Pumpkin spice: A mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice, or simply use more cinnamon.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: Carob powder, dark chocolate melted and cooled, or a chocolate protein powder.

So simple, yet delicious! I’m not a whipped cream fan at all, but doesn’t it look so pretty?

My teenager said, “Wow mom, that looks so good!” He drank it all and loved it!

He mentioned it wasn’t too sweet but tasted amazing, and he really enjoyed it! Isn’t it great to have healthy, vegan, coffee-free latte options?
