How many calories are in a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte?

For the 2026 fall season, Starbucks brought the Pumpkin Spice Latte back on 25 August 2026. A classic grande hot Pumpkin Spice Latte with 2% milk and whipped cream is widely listed at about 390 calories, with about 14g protein, 52g carbs, 14g fat, and 50g sugar. Your exact drink can differ if you change the size, milk, whipped cream, sauce pumps, foam, or country.

The safest tracking method is simple: use Starbucks' current order-screen number for your exact drink, then only adjust values you know. This calculator is built around that workflow because a PSL is usually changed at the counter before it is logged.

Why a PSL calculator can be useful

A seasonal coffee looks like one item, but it can behave like a small meal in a food log. The milk, pumpkin spice sauce, whipped cream, and any cold foam or syrup add-ins can move calories, sugar, carbs, and fat. The difference matters more when the drink is repeated through fall or when someone drinks half now and saves the rest for later.

Current Last30Days research for this topic showed seasonal demand around the Starbucks fall launch, local searches for pumpkin drinks, and practical concern about ingredients, allergens, and customization. That is why this page does not try to rank every PSL order as good or bad. It solves the tracking problem: take the number Starbucks gives you, scale the part you drank, and keep the log editable.

If you are making a drink at home, the coffee calorie calculator is better for milk, syrup, sugar, and cold foam measured from labels. If protein powder is part of the cup, use the protein coffee calculator. This PSL tool is for Starbucks orders where the official listing or order screen is the best starting point.

How to handle milk, whip, sauce, and cold foam changes

Do not estimate per-pump or per-topping nutrition unless Starbucks gives you the value for that exact order. The clean approach is to customize the drink in the Starbucks app, read the updated calories when available, and enter that number in the calculator. If you know an adjustment from a label or saved order, add it in the customization fields.

For example, if your order screen shows a customized grande PSL at 330 calories, enter 330 as the Starbucks screen calories instead of starting with 390 and guessing the difference. If your drink was shared, enter the percent you drank. If you bought two identical drinks, change the drink count. The output becomes a usable Mori entry rather than a generic cafe estimate.

This also helps with iced drinks. Starbucks lists hot and iced Pumpkin Spice Latte pages separately, and nutrition can differ by drink style. Use the iced page or order screen when the cup in front of you is iced.

Example PSL logs

Classic grande hot PSL: leave the default at 390 calories, 14g protein, 52g carbs, 14g fat, and 50g sugar. Log it as a full Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Half a grande PSL: set the consumed amount to 50%. The calculator returns about 195 calories, 7g protein, 26g carbs, 7g fat, and 25g sugar from the default classic drink.

Customized order: if the Starbucks app shows your no-whip or milk-swapped order at a different calorie value, enter that value directly. Keep the change label short, such as "oatmilk, no whip" or "half drank after lunch."

Two drinks across a long day: set the drink count to 2 only when both drinks match the same starting nutrition. If the orders are different, log them separately so Mori can keep each estimate editable.

How to log a Pumpkin Spice Latte in Mori

A good Mori entry should preserve the part a future-you would need to remember: brand, drink, size, style, customization, portion, and the calorie number used. A clear entry is "Starbucks grande hot Pumpkin Spice Latte, 2% milk, whipped cream, full drink, about 390 calories."

If you are tracking macros, include protein, carbs, fat, and sugar when you have them. If you only have calories, log calories first and keep the entry editable. This is better than pretending the exact macro split is known for a custom drink when the storefront did not provide it.

After the drink is logged, the protein gap calculator can show whether the rest of the day still needs protein. The weekly calorie average calculator is useful if fall drinks show up on some days but not others. If you want a broader coffee workflow, read the guide to tracking coffee calories.

Sources used

The seasonality comes from Starbucks' August 2026 fall menu announcement, which says the Pumpkin Spice Latte returned on 25 August 2026. Starbucks' own hot and iced Pumpkin Spice Latte menu pages are the preferred sources for the drink in front of you because they reflect Starbucks' current product setup. Current health and nutrition coverage also lists the classic grande PSL at about 390 calories and 50g sugar, which matches the default used here.

Limits and safety notes

This tool is a logging aid, not a Starbucks product, official nutrition label, medical tool, or diet plan. Starbucks ingredients, allergens, and nutrition can vary by location and customization. If you have allergies, celiac disease, diabetes, pregnancy-related guidance, an eating-disorder history, or another clinical concern, use Starbucks' official allergen and nutrition information and your own clinician's advice.

The calculator should not tell you whether a PSL fits your diet. It should only help you log the drink more honestly. If you drink it, enter the best official number you have, scale the amount you actually drank, and move on with the day.
