Nutritionist Approved Fall Lattes to Spice Up Your Morning Wellness Routine (Sugar-Free!)
Whether you’re a Pumpkin Spice Latte lover or just consider yourself a coffee connoisseur - nothing says Fall like a cozy cup filled with your favorite flavored latte. The problem is, many praised Fall lattes from coffee chains are often loaded with sugars. While a traditional latte typically contains under 20 grams of sugar, a PSL has around 50 grams of sugar! Lucky for you, It just takes a few simple swaps to make your favorite lattes at home (plus, save major money this season skipping the drive-thru!)
Check out these 4 nutritionist-approved healthy lattes that not only are sugar free - they actually each boast health benefits!
