One of the most common industries that uses pumpkin syrups as a flavor booster is the coffee industry. With so many different varieties of coffee, consumers rightfully wish to know if their favorite drinks are made with real ingredients. 

Most coffee shops, including popular drive-thru brands, use special pumpkin syrups collections to flavor their seasonal drinks. Luckily, these syrups can also be available to you in your home!

In this piece, we’ll take a closer look at everyone’s fall favorite: pumpkin spice lattes. We’ll explore everything about this iconic seasonal beverage, including if there is real pumpkin in them.

Is There Real Pumpkin In These Lattes?

Different pumpkin syrups will be made in different ways. Most syrups will blend the pumpkin with other ingredients so that no whole pieces of pumpkin are found in the syrups. Some will use sugar while others opt for sugar-free alternative ingredients. The nutritional value of each syrup will also vary as a result. 

At Skinny Mixes, our pumpkin spice syrup is a flavorful option to add pumpkin spice flavor with 0 sugar, 0 carbs, and 0 calories!

What Is a Pumpkin Spice Latte?

A pumpkin spice latte is usually created by adding pumpkin spice syrup to the existing ingredients of cafe latte (ground, filtered coffee topped up with steamed, frothed milk). It is a popular autumnal choice, with the pumpkin spice and the hot coffee combining to create a warm, aromatic beverage. 

Pumpkin spice lattes are so popular because not only are they warm and comforting, but the spices stimulate the senses, meaning there is more to the drink than just traditional coffee and milk. 

Not that you need another reason to love these seasonal lattes, but pumpkin spice also contains a range of health benefits! Nutmeg, for instance, is known for its ability to improve digestion, while cinnamon can aid in blood sugar control and prevent inflammation.

The first spiced lattes were created by Starbucks in 2003, and while it took a little while to catch on, it’s now one of the world’s most sought-after coffees. In fact, pumpkin syrup is now used not only for drinks, but also as a staple for baking recipes!
