Healthy Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte


It sounds too good to be true, but it IS true!  Pumpkin Spice Latte's that are as healthy as they are yummy - not just an urban myth...

I found this recipe at The Yummy Mummy Kitchen - Marina is all about creating simple healthy recipes for her family (and readers).  The recipe for this is so easy, you will saying, Why didn't I think of this myself?!

Ingredients:
Non-fat whipped topping (like Cool Whip) - she recommends TruWhip
Canned Pumpkin
1 tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
Optional: Three packets sweetener (Stevia or Splenda)

Directions:
Mix non-fat whipped topping, canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetener (optional) in a large mixing bowl.  After it's all mixed together, spread the topping in a flat pan or tray, and pop it in the freezer.  Once the mixture is frozen, use a cute pumpkin shaped cookie cutter to cut out the adorable pumpkin flavored "creamers" and drop it in your morning coffee for a creamy dreamy treat!

Or, if you are lazy like me, no need to freeze the mixture - just save it in a Tupperware in the fridge and spoon it into your to-go cup before running out of the house (trust me, her photos are way prettier than mine ended up looking this morning).

Try it out!
