MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How Much Exercise Does It Take to Burn Off a Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Now that we’re a week into October you’ve the pumpkin spice mania is in full swing. You’ve probably had a few PSL’s by now. While delicious, they are also dangerous when it comes to the calories count. So how much do you have to work out after having one to burn it all off?

Let’s start with the smallest size at Starbucks, a tall. The “healthiest” version with nonfat milk and no whipped cream is going to require a 1.6 mile jog to burn off all those cals.

Now, if you want to go all out and go full pumpkin crazy with the biggest version? A Venti with whole milk and whipped cream…. get ready for a 4.6-mile jog to get rid of all that. Or you could also do 54 minutes of burpees. Ouch.

Is the PSL really worth it? You can be the judge.
