I get a little anxious when someone in my personal life asks me something health, fitness or photography related. Take the PT guy who's been coming to my house rehabbing me from hip surgery.

He wanted to see my photography and literally, I wanted to hide under a rock and die. That sounds stupid, but I feel that way anytime someone asks me that.

I guess part of me isn't yet comfortable being seen as an expert and willing to put myself out there for others to judge. After all, these are things I L-O-V-E doing. How could I be an expert in something I like doing so much?

This relates to this Turmeric Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup because a friend recently asked my opinion on pumpkin spice lattes. She's been drinking them for years and loves them, but is trying to lose weight. These questions make me feel the same way as the ones about my photography.

Unsure. Unsure, if I'm willing to share my knowledge with my personal life people. I know, I'm weird. You don't have to tell me this.

I told her I'd give her my honest opinion, but made her promise she wouldn't hold it against me. Meanwhile, my heart was racing out of my chest as I was explaining to her my many concerns with PSL's.

From the lack of real pumpkin, high calorie count (260-420) to the 40% DV of saturated fat and mountain of sugar. Let's not even talk about the inflammatory response, blood sugar spike and potential weight gain that comes with this fancy, high priced drink.

Basically, I told her if she wanted to gain weight it was a awesome option {<- sarcasm at it's finest}.

The look on her face when I told her this was so sad. It was as if I killed her puppy and it nearly broke my heart. Thankfully, we're still friends.

Believe me when I say I know exactly how she felt though.

That gut wrenching feeling of giving up something you love for your health which more often than not, we won't give up unless we have a suitable alternative slammed immediately in our face. Hopefully, this Turmeric Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup helps those of you in similar situations.

Instructions

Bring a small pot to medium heat and add maple syrup, pumpkin puree, almond milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and turmeric.
Simmer, stirring constantly until ingredients are thoroughly mixed, thickened and fragrant. The sauce will be very thick and the smell is incredible!
Turn the heat off and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Cool the syrup in the pot prior to transferring to a sealable container to store in the refrigerator.
Pour 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup into any regular coffee (iced or hot) or espresso and top with additional cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and turmeric as desired. You can also add the syrup and blend it with your coffee to make it super frothy and thick.
Syrup keeps in the refrigerator 4-6 weeks.
