FAQs

Is Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte healthy?

Yes, a Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte can indeed be a healthier alternative to the traditional pumpkin spice latte. The regular versions of these lattes often contain high amounts of sugar and carbs, which are not suitable for a keto or low-carb diet.

However, a Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte is made with ingredients that fit within the keto diet guidelines. It usually includes unsweetened almond or coconut milk, heavy cream, a low-carb sweetener like monk fruit or stevia, and pumpkin puree. These ingredients result in a beverage that is low in carbs but still high in flavour.

In addition, pumpkin puree is rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium, providing some nutritional benefits. The heavy cream adds a source of healthy fats, which are a key part of the keto diet.

Despite these benefits, it's important to consume Keto Pumpkin Spice Lattes in moderation as part of a balanced diet, as they can be high in calories due to the heavy cream and other fats.

How to make pumpkin puree?

You’ll need one medium-sized sugar or pie pumpkin. Now follow this simple instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Rinse the pumpkin clean and pat it dry. Slice off the stem of the pumpkin, then cut the pumpkin in half from top to bottom. Use a large metal spoon or an ice cream scoop to remove the seeds and fibrous strings.
• Place the pumpkin halves, cut-side down, onto the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin and flesh.
• Allow the pumpkin to cool enough to handle, then scoop out the flesh using a spoon and discard the skin.
• Transfer the pumpkin flesh to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. If the puree seems too thick, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
• You can use the pumpkin puree immediately in recipes, or store it in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it in zip-top bags or airtight containers for longer storage.
