Love your Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) but want to avoid a sugar crash? A Grande PSL has about 50 grams (g) of sugar, but a few simple swaps can help you enjoy your favorite fall treat with less sugar.

1. Request Fewer Pumpkin Sauce Pumps

A standard Grande (16-ounce [oz]) PSL comes with four pumps of pumpkin sauce, totaling up to 30 g of added sugar (6 to 7.5 g per pump). Four pumps may taste too sweet or strong for some.

Try this : For a lower-sugar option , try just one pump less and see if it still hits the spot. If that works, try two fewer pumps next time and save up to 15 g of sugar . Experiment and find what works best for you.
