This Bulletproof Pumpkin Spice Latte Will Keep Your Blood Sugar Stable Until Lunchtime

If the drop in temperature and sudden ubiquity of pumpkin in your Instagram feed didn't clue you in, allow me to officially welcome you to fall. Ah, the season of cozy sweaters, warm baths, crisp breezes, and...PSL everything. The pumpkin-spiced beverage is the theme food of the season, appearing in dairy-free creamer, deodorant (!!), and, of course, Starbucks' signature latte.

I went for a Bulletproof-ish version, adding in some grass-fed butter (you can sub ghee or omit) and using coconut milk in lieu of traditional coconut oil for a more whole-foods latte feel, while maintaining all of the healthy, blood-sugar-balancing fats. The result? A fiber- and healthy-fat-filled drink that takes seconds to make and will keep you full till lunch (or dinner, if you use it as an afternoon snack—just be careful of the caffeine, or do the caffeine-free version, below). Plus, it tastes like a perfect day of leaf-peeping and apple-picking in a glass, with a gentle sweetness, and a subtle pumpkin pie flavor melding with the creamy, slightly bitter coffee.
