Pumpkin Spice Latte vs Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

9/25/2019

Fall has officially begun and the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks but this year it’s got another pumpkin-flavored pal - the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. So what’s the deal with this new drink and how does it compare to the PSL? Read on!

🎃 The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew (PCCB) is comprised of cold brew coffee, vanilla syrup, pumpkin cream cold foam, and pumpkin spice topping.

🎃 When compared to a Grande PSL with 2% milk and whipped topping it’s lower in calories by 130.

🎃 Lower in fat by 2g

🎃 Lower in carbs by 21g

🎃 Lower in sugar by 19g

🎃 Even though it’s not as bad as the PSL, it’s still not a health food. Think of these drinks as dessert.

🎃 An easy way to take the numbers even lower is to reduce the number of pumps of syrup in the drink. The PSL comes with 4, but see if you can get by with 2. The PCCB comes with 2, but try 1. It’ll still be sweet from the pumpkin foam.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
