It’s that time of year again—when the leaves change colors, the air gets crisp, and the scents of pumpkin and apple fill the air. If you’re anything like me, this season is all about indulging in everything pumpkin. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of pumpkin spice lattes or have been counting down the days until Trader Joe’s restocks their fall favorites, this is your guide to appreciating all things pumpkin!
If there’s a one-stop shop for pumpkin products, it’s Trader Joe’s. Every September through November, the shelves turn shades of orange and brown, overflowing with options for pumpkin lovers. If you’re new to the craze, start with the Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix, a comforting, easy-to-make option perfect for Sunday mornings. Pair it with your favorite coffee or morning beverage and you’ll be in pumpkin heaven!
Next up, the Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake, which will fill your home with the quintessential aromas of fall. The vanilla frosting paired with the rich pumpkin spice flavor creates the perfect balance, leaving you ready for another bite! And for my personal favorite and a seasonal must-have from TJ’s: Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels. These crispy, crunchy, and salty pretzels, coated in a pumpkin spice-infused yogurt, will have you reaching for more every time!
Another must-try is the limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Cookies from Tate’s Bake Shop, available at Target and grocery stores near you. If, like me, you’re already obsessed with their classic chocolate chip cookies, then you’re in for a treat. Be sure to grab these before they disappear from the shelves!
Ok but really, what’s pumpkin season without a Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL)? Pair it with Starbucks’ pumpkin loaf or scone for the ultimate fall indulgence. And for the extra pumpkin-obsessed, don’t forget to add pumpkin cold foam—it’s a game-changer! Use our Healthy Iced Latte base with some pumpkin syrup to make this drink at home!
Pumpkin season is short, so be sure to stock up on these and other delicious products while they last. With this guide, you’re ready to dive headfirst into all things pumpkin and savor the season. From Trader Joe’s goodies to PSLs, there’s no shortage of pumpkin items to enjoy.
