How to Craft a Cozy Pumpkin Protein Latte
Share
As fall nears, cold air meets warm drink. Sip a spicy brew that comforts the soul. If you love pumpkin spice but seek a healthier warm cup than a regular latte, try this Pumpkin Protein Latte. This mix tastes good and fills you with energy.
The Benefits of a Pumpkin Protein Latte
This latte pleases your taste and fills your body with good fuel. Pumpkin gives vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber that feed you as the days shorten. Protein helps mend muscles and keeps hunger at bay through busy days.
A fine protein powder boosts your drink. For this mix, Vanilla Whey Protein gives a smooth cream and a gentle sweet note that joins the pumpkin and spices. You can get it here.
Cozy Pumpkin Protein Latte Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

• A pinch of sea salt
• Optional: whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, or extra pumpkin pie spice

Warm the Milk
Heat almond milk in a saucepan on medium until warm. A milk frother works too for a light froth in your cup. -
Mix in Pumpkin and Spices
Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt into the warm milk. Keep stirring until all parts merge well. -
Blend in the Protein
Take the mix off the heat and add the Vanilla Whey Protein and maple syrup. Mix with a whisk until the blend feels smooth and light. -
Combine with Coffee
Pour freshly brewed coffee into your mug. Slowly add the pumpkin blend on top and stir well. -
Garnish and Enjoy
Top with whipped cream if you wish, add a dust of cinnamon, or a bit more pumpkin pie spice to finish the look.
