Tips for the Best Pumpkin Spice Latte

Blend instead of stirring to create a smooth, creamy latte.
Use vanilla protein powder for the best flavor.
Choose pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
For an iced version, blend with ice cubes.

Optional Add-Ins

Customize your latte with your favorite ingredients:

Extra collagen peptides
Unflavored creatine monohydrate
Ground cinnamon
Nutmeg
Ground ginger
Cinnamon dolce syrup
Sugar-free vanilla syrup
Oat milk
Almond milk
Coconut milk
Espresso instead of brewed coffee

Why Add Collagen & Creatine?

Adding collagen peptides is an easy way to increase your protein intake while supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue.

Unflavored creatine monohydrate mixes seamlessly into coffee drinks and may help support muscle strength, exercise recovery, and overall performance without affecting the flavor.
