It's the middle of September which means it's almost October which means it's practically fall! You know what that means, I know what that means, we all know what that means: PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING!!! Call me basic or whatever, but it's seriously my favorite flavor. Although when Christmastime rolls around, peppermint will definitely give it a run for its money. Once pumpkin spice starts hitting the shelves, my pantry becomes a fall-themed party! These are 13 of my favorite pumpkin spice products, and I encourage you to give them all a try!
1. Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
Between Coffee-Mate, International Delight, and Starbucks, a taste of pumpkin to add to your coffee is readily available to turn your morning cup of joe into a fall fantasy!
2. Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Kodiak Cake
I LOVE Kodiak Cakes as a quick and easy snack, and what better two things to combine than dark chocolate and pumpkin?? So far I've only seen this flavor at Target but I'm really hoping H-E-B will come through soon. They also have boxes of the seasonal pumpkin mixes to keep the party going through December!
3. Coffee, straight up.
I am 100% a "I need a second cup of coffee in the afternoon if you want me to make it through the day" type of person, and this semester I have been gravitating more towards iced coffee for my second cup! I buy these huge things of Starbucks coffee and just add ice and creamer to my to-go cup! I usually get the blonde roast, but now that pumpkin is released for the season it's a no brainer!
4. Chobani Flip Pumpkin Harvest Crisp
Who doesn't love yogurt as a good snack?? I love Chobani flips! Unfortunately, this one has nuts in it so I can't eat it without experiencing anaphylactic shock, but I bet this flavor is no less yummy than the rest! I'll be sticking to Yoplait pumpkin yogurt but I highly recommend Chobani as well!
5. Pumpkin Spice Belvita
I may or may not be eating one of these right now as I type this (spoiler alert, I am). These are seriously the best and taste especially good with coffee. I love taking Belvitas to school with me because they fill me up way more than a granola bar or anything like that would! If you aren't a pumpkin person I highly recommend the blueberry flavor.
6. Peanut Butter and Co. Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter
I can't hype this brand up enough!! I don't know who's idea it was to make flavored peanut butter but I'm on board. I love toast and peanut butter sandwiches so this is just an all-around win for me.
7. Pumpkin Spice Cheerios
I LOVE me a good bowl of cereal!!! But only at night for some reason. Cereal is a nighttime snack, and you can't change my mind!!! Bonus points to Cheerios for being gluten-free!
8. Philadelphia Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Spread
On toast, a bagel, an english muffin - you name it.
9. Halo Top and Creamy Creations Ice Cream
Creamy Creations pumpkin-flavored ice cream is my favorite ice cream of all time!!!! And trust me, I've tried A LOT of ice cream. For a healthier alternative I also thoroughly enjoy Halo Top's seasonal pumpkin pie flavored ice cream! It definitely has more of a pie flavor, but it's still delicious nonetheless!
10. Pumpkin Spice Donuts
Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts both offer seasonal pumpkin flavors! I'm convinced I could eat A FULL DOZEN.
11. Pillsbury cookies
Hands down, a classic. You truly can't celebrate a holiday without the corresponding Pillsbury sugar cookies. Although the pumpkin ones aren't pumpkin flavored, they do have other seasonal ones that are pumpkin flavored with cream cheese chips! My fridge is stocked as you read this very sentence.
12. Pumpkin Pie Perfect bar
These bars are literally so filling (like 300-400 calories filling) and they have the yummiest consistency. I'm convinced it's because they're cold! So yummy and also pair well with coffee. Try one of these immediately!!! I always see them at Starbucks and Target!
13. Pumpkin Spice Pancakes & Waffles

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! XOXO
