I am on my Starbucks kick right now feeling a certain type of way that the red cups are here. 🙂 I love the red cups at Starbucks during this time of year. I am also not over my pumpkin spice addiction… I never really am. I crave pumpkin year round. However did you know if you get a Grande size pumpkin spice latte with whole milk and whipped cream at Starbucks its going to cost you 420 calories?
Yes you read that right 420 calories. Geesh. That’s a lot of calories.
Here is a great skinny Starbucks inspired pumpkin spice latte from The Happier Homemaker. If you love Starbucks try this one today.
