Homemade Pumpkin Chai Latte {WIAW}
Man, is it Wednesday already? I swear time is in like fast forward or something. We are just a week away from the launch of our dietbet challenge, are you ready?! I’m so excited. I’ve been reading It Starts With Food like crazy and trying to think about how to avoid the normal holiday traps… One of my downfalls is Starbucks. I love a good latte! I’ve been trying to figure out substitutes and I think I found one. I’m not sure this is “whole30” approved… but it has a heck of a lot less calories than an eggnog latte!

The last few days have been a bit of a blur. My BFF came to visit and we had a ton of fun, but it went by so fast! Because it has been a bit crazy, I have some random pictures of what my eats have looked like lately. Linking up with Jenn from Peas and Crayons for WIAW!
Homemade Paleo Pizza (Crust recipe here) – West Allen Grill, Grilled Chicken Salad- Banana Soft Serve topped with Food Should Taste Good Chocolate Tortilla Chips.
Yes, you read that right. Chocolate Tortilla Chips. They were sent to me from Food Should Taste Good as a part of their Holiday Simple Survival Kit.
It also included goodies from Justin’s Nut Butter (that didn’t last very long after opening), Larabar, Little Duck Organics, SmartWool, Spout Wellness, and Teatulia. Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing!
What’s your favorite holiday drink?

I just started reading It Starts With Food too. Very interesting so far even though I’m a semi-vegetarian.
Love the chai recipe!
Courtney
How would a vegetarian go Paleo?

I love peppermint tea. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but if I was, I would LOVE this. It looks so warm and cozy. All I’d need are comfy PJ’s and I’d be set. 🙂
Courtney
This is Tea! You might like it! Comfy PJs are a must. Preferably polka dotted. and PINK since you’re having a girl! SOOOO EXCITED!
Jennifer
That survival kit looks amazing! And ISWF was a super insightful book! I did the Whole30 and it was a huge challenge. Mentally, physically, emotionally! I think everyone should do it at least once in their life. It’s only 30 days! 🙂
Courtney
It is an awesome package. I’m only on chapter 4 so far, but loving it! I’m trying to talk myself into doing for the dietbet challenge… eeeek
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast
Oh wow, that sounds so good! Love your survival kit too, so many of my favorite goodies.
Courtney
Do you like Chai? I used to not… but something obviously changed. And isn’t it a great package? SO many wonderful brands in one box!
clare @ fittingitallin
had some of those chocolate chips sunday night!
Courtney
I was surprised at how good they were! Especially with peanut butter… yum
Madeline @ Food Fitness and Family
That looks delicious!!
Courtney
It is the perfect balance of sweet and savory with the spices and pumpkin!
Meghan @ TheMeghaMix
Are the chocolate tortilla chips good? I love all the FSTG chips I’ve tried but never could bring myself to buy the chocolate ones.
Yup, I dyed it! Wanted something a little different and felt like I’d earned the right to go a little crazy with all my progress at CrossFit. The store is called “Born to Run” – it’s a minimalist boutique running store that just started carrying some CrossFit gear. Love it!
Courtney
They were great! Especially with Peanut Butter Co White Chocolate Wonderful!! I love your new do – you wear it well!
Can’t wait until a store around here has CrossFit stuff!!
Kierston
Your latte sounds great! Two great flavours put together! Mmm Mmm!
Courtney
It is a happy marriage of flavors!
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf

It is so nice and warm! Makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
