~Are You Pumped, for Pumpkin Spice!!!~

The first day of fall was on October 21st, and after that the weather starts to cool down. Driving home from work last night, I ran into my first encounter with snowflakes. Watch out farmers, get those crops in as soon as possible, you never know how early the winter snow may come.

For all of you out there who love to enjoy a warm beverage on those chilly days, here is a great tasting recipe that is free of all of those unnecessary and sugary ingredients that our bodies don't need. Enjoy this steamed Cuppa Pumpkin Spice Latte on those chilly, breezy fall days. Perfect to warm and carry in your hands on those lovely walks through the crisp bright colored leaves. 

Pumpkin Spice Latte with whipped topping

1c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or another plant based variety)

1/2c. organic pumpkin puree

2tsp. cinnamon

1tsp. pumpkin spice

1/2tsp. stevia

Whip all ingredients except stevia together and put in pot and warm on medium high. Stirring consistently for roughly around 5-10 minutes. After it warms to the temperature you like, stir in stevia and serve in desired mug.

Whipped Topping:

1/2c. plain keifer (yogurt works too)
