It’s officially fall, you guys! I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things about this time of the year is the seasonal drinks. My day isn’t complete until I’m holding a warm mug of something that smells and tastes like pumpkin and/or general cidery goodness.
You probably know by now that Starbucks’ infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte isn’t vegan (even if you order it with soy milk and no whipped cream, there’s still condensed nonfat milk in the pumpkin spice mix 
).
The good news? Now, you make your own veganized Pumpkin Spice Latte at home with Starbucks’ brand-new VIA® Pumpkin Spice instant coffee mix. WIN!

Aw man, I’ve been drinking that pumpkin latte for the past few years! That might explain why I got a stomachache afterwards. Good thing I can make my own now!

I couldn’t make it through fall without pumpkin coffee, apple cider and mint tea.
