Pumpkin Caramel Latte Low Carb

A pumpkin caramel latte low carb and a paleo version made with healthy ingredients.

I just had to have a healthy low carb version of a Pumpkin Caramel Latte for Fall or any time of year. This recipe has a low carb sugar free version and a paleo version depending on what sweetener and whipped topping you use.

I know that all the coffee shops will start bombarding us with all kinds of sugar-laden pumpkin specialty drinks, and I am not immune to their tactics! So I made my own special pumpkin drink at home, and it is superb!

I was completely ready for it to turn out gross, as I thought you would need that fake pumpkin syrup flavoring to make it taste good. I was wrong, this version is very good and low carb legal, so I can have my pumpkin and drink it too.

The recipe makes one large latte or two small lattes and can be made without the caramel sauce. Watch the recipe video above post.

You can also make this pumpkin latte without the caramel sauce (as done in the photo above).
