Low-Carb / Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte:
To make this latte sugar-free and diabetic-friendly, simply swap the pumpkin spice syrup for a keto version made with allulose or monk fruit instead of sugar. Use unsweetened almond milk (or a blend of almond milk + a splash of heavy cream for richness). Top with sugar-free whipped cream if desired.👉 Net carbs: ~3–4g per latte (mainly from the pumpkin purée and spices).
