Cozy Pumpkin Spice Recipes

With September comes fall, and you know what that means. Pumpkin s p i c e everything! I’m a huge pumpkin fan - not only for the flavour, but for the health benefits too. It’s incredible for your skin with a ton of Vitamin A, great for your immune system, and my dog loves it too! I’ve included some of my favourite fall drinks below - both hot and cold - and trust me, you’re going to want to try these! So. much. yum.

Pumpkin Oat Milk Cream Iced Coffee

For the coffee

• 1 Iced Nespresso pod (I like Freddo Delicato)

• Ice

For the oat milk cream

• 1/3 cup unsweetened oat milk of your choice

• 1 tbsp organic pumpkin puree (canned)

• 1/2 tsp maple syrup

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice

• Dash of fine Himalayan pink salt

Directions

1. Brew your cold brew or iced espresso as you like it. Some add maple syrup to their coffee, but I prefer it black, as the foam is sweet enough for me. Make sure it’s cold enough before you move onto your foam.

2. Place all of your cream ingredients into your milk frother and froth on the cold setting. I’m absolutely obsessed with my electric frother, because it works like a charm for hot or cold foam, and it’s sooo aesthetically pleasing!

3. Top your iced coffee with your cold pumpkin cream, and garnish with a little more pumpkin pie spice. Throw a straw in, and prepare to sip your new favourite drink!

Pumpkin Spice Oat Milk Latte

Ingredients

• 1 Nespresso pod of your choice (brewed latte size)

• 1/2 cup oat milk

• 1.5 tbsp organic pumpkin puree (canned)

• 1 tsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• Dash of Himalayan pink salt

Directions

1. Brew your espresso as usual, then place remaining ingredients into your milk frother on the hot setting.

2. Once frothed to your liking, top your espresso with your hot milk, and garnish with extra pumpkin pie spice.

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup organic pumpkin puree

• 1/2 cup oat milk

• 1 scoop Cookies and Cream or Vanilla protein powder (unflavoured if you like it less sweet)

• 1 frozen banana

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• Ice

DIY Succulent Pumpkin

It’s officially Thanksgiving here in Canada, and what better way to celebrate than with a centrepiece DIY! I absolutely love fall and all that comes with it (including pumpkin spice and everything nice).  For this year’s Thanksgiving centrepiece, I decided to put two of my favourite things together and make a succulent pumpkin! Follow along for the process and end result :)

what you’ll need

• Pumpkin or gourd of your choice

• Various succulents

• Knife

• Big spoon or scoop

• Marker or pen

let’s get to it​

1. Before you do anything, arrange your succulents the way you want them in your pumpkin. Based on the size of your succulents, draw the circle you’re going to cut into your pumpkin. 

​2. Carve the circle and pull the top off your pumpkin. Scoop out all the guts until your pumpkin is completely clean, then give it a good rinse.​

3. Now for the fun part! Take your biggest succulent out of its pot, and place it into the pumpkin in your desired spot. Repeat the process with all of your succulents until you achieve your desired arrangement. Wipe down the sides of your pumpkin, and voila! All set for turkey dinner.

I can’t express how thankful I am for everything and everyone in my life - I’m blessed beyond and I’m grateful for that everyday! Special thanks to you guys for reading and continuing to inspire me :)

Happy Thanksgiving loves!
