Protein-Packed Pumpkin Spice Latte

I’m still loving all things pumpkin spice.

Over the weekend, I was in the mood for a PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE. And I wanted it to be easy, low-sugar, and protein-packed.

After a few experiments, I got it! The perfect speedy PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE. It gets its creamy latte vibes + 10g of protein from… HEMP SEEDS!

HEMP SEEDS are packed with nutrition.
Here are some of their impressive stats (for 3 tablespoons):
✨ 10 grams protein
✨ 45% daily magnesium (muscle & nerve function)
✨ 25% daily zinc (immunity)
✨ 20% daily iron (healthy blood)
✨ 10% daily folate (cell repair & growth)
✨ over 100% daily plant-based omega-3 (anti-inflammatory)

And now I absolutely must share my newest obsession…

PRO-TIPS:
– Buy “hulled hemp seeds” or “hemp hearts.”

– Use an actual blender, not a coffee frother. The blender is needed to break down the hemp seeds & make them creamy.

– You can add 1 tablespoon of canned pumpkin to this recipe, but I didn’t to keep it minimal ingredients.

– Make this with your favorite coffee OR make it with your favorite tea such as ginger tea, fennel tea, turmeric tea, earl grey, or matcha.
