This no coffee pumpkin latte is the perfect way to treat your kids (or you!) to the ultimate fall beverage this pumpkin season.

Who’s ready for cooler weather and warmer beverages?  I start everyday with a cup of coffee, no matter what the temperature is. But as soon as Starbucks and Dunkin’ announce it’s time to start serving Pumpkin Spice…everything…I am ready!

I know every time I go thru the drive-thru for one of my favorite fall drinks the kids always ask for one. But all that caffeine… Is caffeine safe for kids? Well, you can read more about caffeine and kids here, but to give you a hint…kids really don’t need caffeine. So if we help in limiting caffeine in kids, that’s not a bad thing. And, trust me, the kids won’t miss the caffeine in this yummy Caffeine Free Pumpkin Latte.

This kid-friendly version is made with a few simple ingredients and caffeine-free! Plus, it’s made with pumpkin, and pumpkin is actually really good for us!
