Fall is one of my favorite seasons. As the weather gets cooler and everyone starts celebrating with harvest festivals, trips to haunted houses, and hosting their own Halloween parties, college students will be searching for a delicious cup of coffee. While the pumpkin spice latte is a popular choice every year, there are healthier selections that are available. Here are some cheaper alternatives to the beloved PSL that college students need to try instead.
1. Hot apple cider
This is a tasty drink that brings good memories of trips to harvest festivals. Apple cider is a classic beverage that college students need to try at least once. Nice blend of apples and spices, making it a great replacement for the pumpkin spice latte.
2. Regular coffee with pumpkin spice creamer
With this drink, you can still have the taste of a PSL but with fewer calories and sugar. Just order a cup of coffee (any type of roast) and ask for some pumpkin spice flavor. It's great for anyone that's on a diet or has a small budget. Give it a try.
3. Horchata almond milk frappuccino
Instead of the unholy creation that is the unicorn frappuccino, this is a drink that will give you a nice burst of energy. After all, students taking early classes need a boost in the morning. It is a combination of coffee with almonds and spices. If you can handle the heat and zest, you will enjoy this one.
4. Salted caramel mocha
Here is a nice substitute for PSL that is perfect for those that love a mix of salty and sweet foods. The saltiness of the caramel and the sweetness of the chocolate will keep you awake for a while, but you will love the flavor. It's a special way to begin your morning. Check it out and see for yourself.
5. Hot or iced chai tea latte
This is the coffee that is made to order however you like it. Definitely recommended for college students. If you want to replace the PSL with another drink that was made for fall, then here it is. Whenever you do not feel like having pumpkin again, try a hot (or iced) cup of Chai tea.
