36 VegNews HOLIDAYS 2019

P

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES

have gone from a simple

holiday drink to a downright

cultural, end-of-year staple.

While some major chains

have yet to debut a vegan-

friendly version of the

beverage (we’re waiting

for Starbucks to import its

vegan pumpkin sauce from

the UK to the States), there

are still several ways to get

your PSL fix right now.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf:

Go for the classic Pumpkin

Latte with soy, almond, or

coconut milk. For an iced

version, order the Pumpkin

Cold Brew Almond Milk Latte

with vanilla syrup instead of

powder.

Peet’s Coffee: Not only can

you order a classic vegan

PSL here, you can also try a

Pumpkin Chai Latte or Dark

Chocolate Pumpkin Mocha,

sans milk or honey. Order with

soy or almond milk, and don’t

forget to grab a vegan pastry

while you’re at it.

Whole Foods Market: If your

local Whole Foods coffee bar

offers a PSL for the holidays,

simply opt for a vegan milk (no

upcharge!) and start sipping.

IS FOR QUICK

The vegetables are nearly finished roasting,

the dinner rolls are perfectly golden, the mac and

cheese is bubbly and beautiful, and your guests are

arriving in 15 minutes. Then it dawns on you ... you

forgot to make the gravy! Don’t panic. This aromatic,

10-minute recipe will ensure your mashed potatoes,

stuffing, and roasts get the saucy love they deserve.

1 tablespoon all-purpose

flour

fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon vegan butter
1 cup vegetable broth,

2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 / 8 teaspoon granulated
garlic
1 / 8 teaspoon granulated
onion
(^1) / 8 teaspoon black pepper

1. In a small skillet over
   medium heat, add flour and

   until ready to use or reheat
   before serving.
