It’s pumpkin season! Everyone freak out and eat all the pumpkin things! Yeah, we’re totally not over pumpkin yet, #sorrynotsorry, but we ARE over all the extra carbs, calories and inches that seem to mysteriously appear around our waistlines once bikini season ends and pumpkin season begins.
I want to EAT pumpkin, I don’t want to LOOK like one! And let’s be honest, a “skinny” pumpkin latte just isn’t the same.
ENTER: the PROTEIN pumpkin latte. Yes, it’s a real thing. Yes, it’s just as good as it sounds. And YES, it has 11 grams of protein in it. Eleven grams of protein IN A LATTE! (Cue: triumphant trumpet blast!)
Here’s the real genius behind this protein-packed beauty of a bevvy: It’s made with the new Pumpkin Pie Quest Bar. (If you haven’t tried it yet, this bar’s AMAZING. It’s like Ryan Gosling in a wrapper!) To make the latte, you basically mix up the bar with a little almond milk, an extra dash of spice and some sweetener, microwave it up and voilà: pumpkin protein perfection in a mug!
his latte’s caffeine-free, so it’s perfect for anytime indulgence (we like it after dinner to get some protein before bedtime), but you could add a teaspoon of instant espresso if you need a pick-me-up with your pumpkin.
Go ahead, make those other latte lovers jealous.
