When can I drink this pumpkin spice latte?
You can enjoy this latte on its own as a snack (since it does contain protein of its own) or along with a meal or snack. It is not a THM sipper drink.
Can I make it iced?
You could probably make this an iced drink with a few tweaks!
- I would pre-brew the tea and cool it first.
- Blend all the ingredients together and adjust to taste.
- Use MCT oil in place of the coconut oil or butter.
- Add ice after blending.
Let me know in the comments if you try this!
Success tips
I hate coffee, but if that’s your thing feel free to use coffee instead of tea in this latte.
Try a larger amount of THM Gentle Sweet in place of the THM Super Sweet Blend for a more sugary taste if you prefer. Gentle Sweet would be the better choice if you use coffee instead of tea.
If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, try 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a dash of cardamom – or any combination of your favorite warm spices.

Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1
Description
If you’re craving the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte but don’t want to derail your health journey, this deliciously creamy and protein packed drink is the perfect solution. THM S
You can enjoy this latte on its own as a snack (since it does contain protein of its own) or along with a meal or snack. It is not a THM sipper drink.
Ingredients
- 2 cups hot strongly brewed tea of choice (vanilla chai, gingerbread spice, cinnamon, oolong, or any fall-ish spice tea would work great)
- 4 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons whey protein powder or collagen
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon THM Super Sweet Blend (to taste)
- 2 teaspoons refined coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Hearty pinch of salt
- Dash of vanilla extract
Instructions
Blend all the ingredients together until completely smooth and frothy. Always be careful when blending hot liquids and vent the blender as needed! An immersion blender can be a good way to blend something like this, but be careful not to splash yourself.
This is obviously not a traditional latte. Just blend, taste, and adjust. Make sure the sweetener is what you like. I added a dash more salt and vanilla to balance the drink. The salt and sweetener are really important for balance!
Notes
I hate coffee, but if that’s your thing feel free to use coffee instead of tea in this latte.
Try a larger amount of THM Gentle Sweet in place of the THM Super Sweet Blend for a more sugary taste if you prefer. Gentle Sweet would be the better choice if you use coffee instead of tea.

Allergy info: gluten free, egg free, nut free (may contain coconut oil). Make sure the ingredients you use are compatible with your allergies. For a dairy free version try using collagen instead of whey protein, omit the cream (maybe add some almond milk in its place), and use a full tablespoon of coconut oil (not butter).

I could not find gingerbread spice tea . I used constant comment which is a spice blend which worked great. Very good recipe.
Can I use ghee instead of whipping cream?
That would make this fairly calorie-dense and I’m not sure how it would affect the end result since the two aren’t very similar, but you’re welcome to try. 🙂
Yummy!!! I’ve never tried tea based drinks which are traditionally made with coffee and I love the ones I’ve tried! Drinking this now in the cool of the morning on my patio, thanks!
This drink is amazing! My teenage daughter loves it. My family loves your cookbook.

Thank you so much, Amber! I’m glad to hear that!
How many tea bags in 2 cups water? Can’t wait to make this!!
I don’t remember how many I used…1 or 2, I’m sure. Probably just one, and let it steep for awhile.
I just made a variation of this by using your pumpkin spice syrup – 2-3tbspns of that with a shot of decaf coffee, 1 tbspn heavy cream, 2 tspn collagen and 1 tspn whey protein whipped up and it is divine. I have a feeling that the syrup may find it’s way to more drinks than on pancakes. LOL!
That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to write you and let you know I just made this and it was wonderful! I refused to buy the PSL from the coffee shop this year because of calories and cash. This turned out amazingly well. Next week pumpkin pancakes are on the menu! Thanks so much!

I made your jumbo pumpkin pie pancake for breakfast this morning. It is about the most delicious food I have ever eaten. Thank you for making your recipes and sharing them with us.

I totally laughed out loud when you said the thought of pumpkin and coffee makes you want to throw up!! I love pumpkin, and have made my own coffee pumpkin lattes in the past. I’ll have to try this THM style…and even with the tea. Can’t wait for pumpkin recipes!! All the recipes sound great, but maybe the syrup one first?
Awesome! Thanks so much for the recipe- can’t wait to try it 🙂
Any idea if the coconut oil could be left out or something substituted for it? (I’m allergic)
I would use butter in its place. 🙂
I just made this with coffee and it is so delicious! I have never had a pumpkin spice latte from the major coffee chains, so I can’t really compare, but I love it! I just made one large cup of my favorite hazelnut coffee on my keurig and followed the rest of your recipe. Thank you for all your hard work on this site. I look at it almost daily.

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out!
I’m going to try with coffee in a minute, so I’m glad someone commented. Went to pinterest looking for THM PSL…and Briana Thomas-to-the-rescue, your recipe came right up!!! yay!
Awesome!
