Pumpkin latte: Perfect for these cool autumn days

I love a warm drink in the afternoon during cooler months. But lately I’ve been using warm beverages, like this Pumpkin Latte, to help me get my caffeine consumptio­n down. I don’t want to eliminate coffee altogether, I just find that my second cup is never as good as the first, and it tends to give me a little bit of indigestio­n. As a holistic nutritioni­st, I know that indigestio­n is a sign that something needs to change.

Have you ever worked with a nutritioni­st before? Nutritioni­sts take a look at your lifestyle, including diet, sleep, exercise, and more to help you find some balance or alleviate some symptoms that have been causing discomfort in your life. You can email me maggiesava­ge@me.com if you’d like more informatio­n on the services I provide. My goal is to help you listen to your body’s signs, and then do something about them. The end goal is clarity and of course feeling much better in your body.

This Pumpkin Latte is nutritioni­st-approved, but make sure you use pumpkin puree, as it is 100 per cent pure pumpkin. Pumpkin pie filling is already flavored and loaded with unnecessar­y sugar. If you don’t like dates, then try a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (chances are you won’t even taste the dates in the latte).
