Better Than Starbucks Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte

November 4, 2018

Ok guys, I’m about to throw a bit of tough love at you here. November newsflash! Your beloved and basic betch Pumpkin Spice Latte from the local Starbs is filled with artificial crap and calories. But, if you’re looking for a healthier option made with REAL, wholesome ingredients, you’ve come to the right place.
I think I’ve finally perfected my healthy & homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe now that I’ve had all of the month of October to do so! Also, I have to thank the amazing Dr. Will Cole for inspiring me to adapt this recipe. He’s one of my go-to functional medicine resources- highly recommend you check out his own newsletter and site! Ok, see below for deetz so you can test out the recipe on your own, and please, let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Better Than Starbucks Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte

Plant-based Pumpkin Spice Latte On The Loose

Dairy-Free, No Refined Sugars, Gluten-Free, Vegan

Ingredients:

I got all mine at Whole Foods but feel free to switch up based on your normal grocery routine.

1 can Organic Pumpkin Puree

Organic Cinnamon Spice

Whole Foods private-label brand Organic Pumpkin Pie Spice

Organic Unsweetened Almond Milk (or nut milk of choice. Coconut especially works great here too! I usually use MALK brand almond milk as it’s the cleanest option out there right now besides making your own at home.)

Organic Coffee

Optional: Raw Organic Coconut Sugar

Tools:

Blender

Frother

Step 1: Make Your Own Pumpkin Coffee Creamer

As a reminder in case you haven’t checked out some of my other recipes, I don’t really measure, so feel free to take liberty to adjust here based on how pumpkin-y you would want your latte to be!

  • First, pour can of pumpkin into any blender or Vitamix (we are basically making a pumpkin milk creamer here that will last you at least a week or more for coffees).
  • Add about a cup of almond milk (enough so it blends with the pumpkin puree to be a runny consistency)
  • Add cinnamon to taste
  • Add a pinch of raw organic coconut sugar to taste if you like your coffee with sugar.
  • Blend until milk-like consistency occurs. Store in glass mason jar in fridge and set aside. You can even make this the day before if you’d like to split up the work! That’s what I did. Ain’t nobody got time for long recipes and measuring spoons out the wazoo so I really try to keep these as simple as possible.

Step 2: Make Latte

  • Make your morning pot of coffee, however you usually do so! I’ve even used this with cold brew coffee.
  • Take frother (or a cup where you use your stick frother) and pour half of the pumpkin milk we made in with another half of regular nut milk of choice.
  • Froth it up and pour into coffee!
  • Top with more cinnamon and Whole Foods Pumpkin Pie Spice blend! This spice really adds an extra fall-la-la-la-la flavor because it’s a blend of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon together! If you have any of those spices lying around at home, they would go great on top as well.

PS- here’s a lil tip. If you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to make the pumpkin milk creamer, just froth up some normal nut milk and add in those spices!

And there you have it- the perfect healthy, homemade, and plant-based pumpkin spice latte!

Cheers,

XOXO- Dani

I started my Instagram account back in college whe I started my Instagram account back in college when Instagram first came out (yikes aging myself here lolz) and the same year my Mom got diagnosed with a very aggressive form of stage 4 ovarian cancer. 

Most of you guys have seen me over the years post about how this changed the course of my life, pushing me into a deep rooted passion for all things health & wellness - out of fear of wanting to avoid the same future diagnosis for myself AND to heal myself, specifically my lifelong issues with my skin.

11 years ago we spent Christmas in Seaton Hospital here in Austin, Texas as my Mom was pushed into surgery as the first wave of her “treatment.” If you’re new to following me, the story goes that my Mom decided to treat her cancer 100% holistically. 

And she’s successfully managed it herself since Dec 2011. Her 10 year anniversary was last year and this year the message of how lucky our family is has been on loop in my mind. I know this is rare and it’s not lost on me for one second how special and unique our circumstances are. 

I specifically remember eating take out pizza from Whole Foods (before I even knew what a health food store was ha!) in the hospital room on Christmas Day watching my Mom recover in her hospital bed, all of us so full of fear of what the future would bring.

Now being back in Austin, living here, driving by that hospital, going grocery shopping at that same Whole Foods, it’s a wild TRIP. So, this is an appreciation post for everything this major life circumstance taught me. And how it has 200 million bajillion % only changed my life for the better. 

Happy holidays babes.

XO, Dani
WHO IS YOUR CLEAR SKIN SELF? Who is the best ver WHO IS YOUR CLEAR SKIN SELF? 

Who is the best version of you, the future self version of you, the acne free YOU?

Start meditating on this and daydreaming about who she is, what she looks like, and how she feels everyday.

This mindset trick changed the game for me when it came to finally breaking through barriers and repeated patterns around my skin! I swear it’s like the secret weapon for a good skin day. I know it sounds crazy but it’s so true because here’s the thing…

If we constantly program our minds to identify as someone who is “acne prone,” we inevitably will repeat that cycle, that loop, that pattern. So, rewire and change the story in your brain.

Need help getting started? DM me “meditation.”

Feel overwhelmed and confused about what foods are Feel overwhelmed and confused about what foods are or are NOT safe for a clear complexion? What is or isn’t going to trigger ACNE? Or just even what is or isn’t generally healthy?

This morning I was trying to think back to when I first got really into the health & wellness world and slowly started flirting with diet changes - of course with the ultimate goal of healing my skin and a slew of other symptoms.

I became obsessed with reading books and listening to podcasts and soaking up every piece of info I could find and then (treating myself like a personal science experiment lolz) would spend hours in my local health food stores applying what I had learned that week and picking out new foods to try, cultivating recipes in my little apartment kitchen.

I totally get going to the grocery store can be overwhelming as f*ck. So here are just a few of my favorites and go to brands to grab from the inner aisles at Whole Foods:

- @tolerantfoods pastas
- @primalkitchenfoods dresings
- @bragg evoo organic, unrefined, unfiltered, 1st cold pressed
- Eden organic beans black, kidney, garbanzo aka chickpea
- @foodforlifebaking gf breads and English muffins
- @sietefoods anything
- @artisanaorganics cashew butter
- @threetreesfoods almond or oat milk, etc! Love all their stuff so much.

At the end of the day, a good rule of thumb is to stock up on the fresh produce section first and foods in their freshest, most wholesome state. Then, when it comes to the other ailes like this, buy products with simple ingredient lists that are as minimally processed as possible. 

Have questions on grocery lists for clearing acne? Want more of my favorite brands? DM me “grocery”

Feeling good everyday and clearing your acne isn’t always about the perfect diet or skincare routine. Trust me, you can be eating all the kale in the world and applying all the right products but if your internal world is a wreak, it will show up externally as physical ailments & symptoms. 

This is your body’s way of trying to talk to you and part of healing skin from the inside out is making space for the key nutrients of joy, adventure, and time away to experience the world outside of the sometimes daily monotonous routine. 

And of course the salt water, sunlight, & fresh mountain air can also be magical for the soul and skin 🤪🤍

Hawaii- you were epic.
