☕ Ditch the Drive-Thru — Make These Fall Drinks at Home

Published about 2 hours ago • 1 min read


Hi, Reader,

Fall coffee season is here and the Starbucks menu is calling. I hear you. Those drinks are delicious — but $7 a pop adds up fast. And heads up if you're vegan: the Pumpkin Spice syrup contains dairy, meaning even an oat milk swap won't make it vegan.

The good news? You can make these fall flavors at home in about 5 minutes — completely dairy-free and incredibly delicious. Maybe even better. 😄

☕ Harvest Oat Pumpkin Latte​

This is the cozy fall latte you've been waiting for. Made with real pumpkin, oat milk, and just the right amount of warm spices. Hot or iced, this one is a total keeper.

🧊 Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spiced Iced Latte​

Still holding onto some warm weather? This iced version has all the pumpkin spice flavor you're craving, blended up thick and creamy and ready in under 5 minutes. Made with real pumpkin — not flavored syrup!

🥛 Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer​

Want pumpkin spice flavor in every single morning cup without any extra effort? Make a batch of this creamer on Sunday and you're set for the whole week. Just 6 ingredients, ready in 5 minutes, and so much better than anything from the store.

🍎 Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato​

In the past, this was a Starbucks' fan-favorite fall drink. It's not being offered this year, but never fear — you can easily make it at home! Sweet apple brown sugar syrup, frothy oat milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. All the fall vibes, none of the $7 price tag.

🍮 Homemade Iced Caramel Macchiato​

Vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and a good caffeine kick. This one is a coffee house classic made dairy-free and totally delicious at home. The secret? A homemade date syrup drizzle that tastes just like caramel.

Your couch is cozier than any coffee shop anyway. ☕🍂

Four photo collage of vegan fall harvest salads

Hi, Reader, Can you feel it? That little hint of something in the air? The days are still warm, but there's a subtle shift happening — a crispness in the morning, a golden tint to the light, and suddenly all I want to do is reach for apples and butternut squash instead of corn and zucchini. We're in that sweet spot between summer and fall, and honestly? It's one of my favorite times of year to eat. These five salads were made for exactly this moment. Some are light and fresh to hold onto...

Hi, Reader, We are officially in the thick of it.

Collage of four back to school vegan recipes perfect for luncboxes.

Hi, Reader, Back to school looks a little different in our house this year. My son is heading off to college — I'm not crying, you're crying — and my girls are starting high school. They've informed me, very confidently, that they will be making their own lunches most days. (Their high school has plenty of options in the cafeteria, but they've decided homemade is the way to go. I love that for them.) So while I'm not packing little lunchboxes with cute notes anymore, I am making sure we have...
