How do you order a healthier Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks?

To make your PSL healthier, try these tips:

  • Ask for fewer pumps of the pumpkin spice syrup ( it usually comes with 3–4 ).
  • Swap whole milk for a non-dairy alternative like almond, coconut, or skim milk.
  • Skip the whipped cream.
  • Order a smaller size.
  • You can also ask for it “half-sweet” or use sugar-free vanilla syrup for a lighter twist.
