Health benefits of Keto Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

2 cups Coffee, strong and fresh brewed
1 cup Coconut Milk (from the carton)
1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree
2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend (recipe here)
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 tbsp. Heavy Whipping Cream
2 tbsp. Butter
15 drops Liquid Stevia

Instructions

1. In a pot over medium-low heat, add the pumpkin, butter, coconut milk, and spices.
2. While the pumpkin mixture is coming together, brew 2 cups worth of strong coffee. I use a Keurig machine to do this.
3. Once the pumpkin mixture is starting to get hot and bubble slightly, mix it together.
4. Stir in your 2 cups of strong coffee well.
5. Add stevia and heavy cream. Take an immersion blender to it and blend it well over the stove-top.
6. Add a little extra whipped cream on top with a pinch more spice. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your morning!
