Pumpkin Spice Latte

Ah, the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It’s the drink that screams fall. The moment those leaves start to change, we’re all rushing to Starbucks… okay, I guess we technically start the hype in August now, far before the leaves start changing.
What’s in it? Think signature espresso and steamed milk. Add in iconic flavors like pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Finish it off with whipped cream and real pumpkin pie spices.
Calorie-Saving Tip: If you’re looking to cut back on calories, consider skipping the whipped cream and asking for almond milk instead of whole milk. This simple swap can save you around 70-100 calories, depending on the size of your drink.

What’s in the cup? It’s the same signature espresso and milk you love, but this time, it’s served over ice. And yes, it’s still topped with whipped cream and those pumpkin pie spices.

Ah, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. If you’re a cold brew aficionado like me, this is the Fall drink you’ve been waiting for. It’s a fan favorite for a reason.
What makes it so special? Take a classic Starbucks Cold Brew, but make it Fall. It’s sweetened with vanilla syrup and gets a creamy upgrade with pumpkin cream cold foam.

Here’s something for the iced-drink lovers who want a twist on autumn flavors. Say hello to the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte. It’s a mouthful, but a delicious mouthful.
It’s described as the perfect blend of chai’s warming spices and pumpkin cream. The best part? No coffee. So if you’re someone who prefers tea to coffee, this is the drink for you.
Calorie-Saving Tip: Given the higher carb count, consider asking for half the chai concentrate and half the pumpkin cream. You’ll still get a taste of fall but with fewer calories and carbs.

Overview: Navigating the Fall 2023 Starbucks Menu with Add-On Tips
Alright, folks, we’ve covered a lot of ground (and a lot of delicious drinks and treats). So, let’s wrap it up with some key takeaways and tips to help you navigate the Fall 2023 Starbucks menu like a pro.
But first things first, here are some handy infographics to break down the entire Fall 2023 Starbucks Menu that you can reference whenever you need:
Calorie Watching Tip
If you’re keeping an eye on your calorie intake, the cold brew and shaken espresso options are your best bets. Specifically, the Iced Apple Crisp Shaken Espresso is the lowest calorie option when ordered as-is.
Want to cut even more? Skip the whipped cream—it can add up to 100 extra calories.
Carb Conscious Tip
For those watching carbs, again, the cold brew and shaken espresso drinks are the way to go. The frappuccinos and bakery items are on the higher end of the carb spectrum, so be careful with those.
And for my Keto friends, be cautious with the cold foam; it’s all sugar and no fat, so it won’t be friendly to your keto diet.
Protein Picks
If you’re looking to up your protein intake, the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Spice Creme offer the most protein among the drinks. While these drinks aren’t necessarily great protein sources, they’re certainly not terrible.
Customizing Your Drink
- Whipped Cream: Adds extra calories and fat. Skip it to save around 100 calories.
- Cold Foam: All sugar, no fat. Keep that in mind if you’re on a Keto diet.
- Sugar-Free Syrups: Calorie and macro-free, but they do contain artificial sweeteners if that is a concern for you.
- Regular Syrups: Each pump adds 20-40 calories. Choose wisely based on your drink size: Short (2 pumps), Tall (3), Grande (4), Venti (6), Trenta (7).
- Espresso Shot: Adds little calories but a caffeine boost. A great option if you need that extra kick.
And there you have it! Your comprehensive guide to making the most out of Starbucks’ Fall 2023 menu.
Whether you’re a calorie counter, a carb watcher, or just someone who loves all things fall, there’s something for everyone on the Starbucks Fall menu.
I hope you found this guide helpful- I’ll see you back here for next season!
