Sugar-free Bulletproof pumpkin spice latte
The problem with traditional pumpkin spice lattes is that they’re loaded with excess sugar, which isn’t part of a balanced diet. The Bulletproof pumpkin spice latte is different. It’s made with naturally sweetened pumpkin puree, vanilla and coconut milk, plus quality fats from Bulletproof Brain Octane oil and Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee. Want it sweeter? Add xylitol or stevia, two alternative sweeteners that won’t give you a sugar crash.

Instead, it’s sweetened with Bulletproof Vanilla Collagen Protein, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, coconut milk and a low-glycemic sugar substitute like stevia.
