Every year between fall and Christmas, pumpkin-flavored everything makes its appearance. It’s hard to avoid. Between the grocery stores, coffee shops, and big-box stores you will be bombarded by the scents and flavors of pumpkin spice season.
If you are looking to avoid harmful ingredients, it is so easy to recreate the many flavors and aromas of fall with essential oils. Scented candles can be replaced by room sprays, and you can avoid artificial flavors and colors with a few drops of fall vitality essential oils added to your food.
Although I try to avoid sugary beverages, I can’t say I don’t enjoy the taste of a Pumpkin Spice Latte. It has always been one of my favorite ways to get fall started. Even when the weather doesn’t quite say fall, you can still partake in the joys of the season.
Unfortunately, the ingredients in this famous beverage are not quite in line with my diet and nutritional needs. Plus, it’s expensive with the current price at around $5. That’s about the cost of a carton of organic eggs! So now I skip it and make a healthier alternative at home
Did you know that there is not actually any real pumpkin in the famous PSL? Here are some of the ingredients you will find in this beverage:
- Artificial flavors
- Preservatives
- Food dyes
- High fructose corn syrup
- Genetically modified ingredients
