PUMPKIN SPICE

Its coming ladies. I'm a sucker what can I say.

But I'm not drinking caffeine this pregnancy. (I know you can and what not but I'm not... That's not the issue lol)

I usually get a pumpkin spice chai. What can I get that's still amazing but caffeine free to satisfy my pumpkin cravings?!

    I will still be having a small iced pumpkin with a little sugar and extra cream!! Pumpkin is my fav!!
  • Ive been having my one coffee a day I need it to get cool out so I can enjoy a hot pumpkin spice.

  • They will make it decaf and more cream based at Starbucks and if anything it's better tasting :)
  • I like the pumpkin loaf at sbux, you could steam milk and add the pumpkin syrup? I'm not sure how that would be
  • Heard on the news yesterday supposedly this year Starbucks is actually going to add REAL pumpkin to its PSL. It's about time but I'm curious if it will change the taste. Lol
  • Pumpkin flavored anything is delicious. I will order my latte decaf this year. Yum!
  • They can add the pumpkin spice to hot chocolate or a steamer (just milk).
  • I bought pumpkin pie creamer and I just make decaf coffee, it's completely satisfying! I love pumpkin everything!
  • I didn't know you could get pumpkin spice chai's - yum! Will have to try that.
  • Starbucks will make anything decaf! Love pumpkin spice and cannot wait but I'll wait until it gets cool, lol.
  • I used to work at Starbucks! You can certainly get it just milk and syrup. It's called a "steamer with ____" whatever syrup you like. :) I found out I'm allergic to coffee, so that's what I'll be ordering.

    As for taste, I'm sure it will taste different because now it's going to be pumpkin AND spice lattes, rather than just the spices that go into a pumpkin pie (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves). :)

    I bought a big bottle of pumpkin pie spices, and I can't wait to make pumpkin custard!! I suppose I could use sweet potatoes, but it's just not the same. :)

    Can you share the recipe you'll be using for pumpkin custard?
  • @kyleneum13 that is SO making me crave the pumpkin smash smoothie from Jamba Juice. I used to work there 12 years ago and they still had it seasonally back then. Your recipe is a much healthier version I need to try ASAP!
  • Target has (exclusively) pumpkin spice m&m's! They are good :):):) I also always get Thomas' pumpkin bagels and pumpkin Philadelphia cream cheese at target! Target target target lol
    I've been thinking about Starbucks pumpkin spice for about a month now. I can't wait .

    It's so good!!

  • @mizuiro007, I will probably search Pinterest and find something. I want to try to make a paleo one, since I now have to monitor my blood sugar. But, I may just do my mom's pumpkin pie filling without the crust (so it's gluten free). :)
  • A weight watchers tip is taking pumpkin purée, a box of sugar free vanilla pudding and cool whip. It's delicious.

    You can also take a box of spice cake and one can of pumpkin and make muffins.
  • Does anyone know when we can start ordering pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks?
  • Sept 8 nationwide. The 3rd select places
  • My only other suggestion is pumpkin beer, specifically Shipyard, but that is not helpful lol.

    Btw, Dunks pumpkin spice is available, and delicious. :)
  • I had my first pumpkin iced coffee from Dunkin this morning...guilty pleasure :) I refrained from getting the pumpkin muffin and donut to go with it
  • Yum! I will most definitely be having an occasional pumpkin spice latte!! I'm not really drinking too much caffeine, but I will be indulging here and there; it is simply my favorite fall beverage!!

    I bet starbucks would do a pumpkin spice hot chocolate. Hot chocolate with the pumps of pumpkin spice syrup.

    ETA: I asked a friend who worked at Starbucks and she said that yes they can do this. Or you can just order your latte with decaf espresso.

  • Noosa Pumpkin yogurt at Target. OMG, fabulous. Don't read the nutrition label though. Or just eat half the container to make yourself feel better.

  • Just went to Olive Garden for our anniversary and they have the most delicious pumpkin cheesecake I have ever tasted!!!
  • Cooking light has a recipe for pumpkin cranberry muffins which is probably my favorite pumpkin food.
