Pumpkin Spice Latte

When we think of fall flavors, pumpkin always comes to mind. Pumpkin is full of fiber, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and potassium, but don’t forget about all the health benefits of the anti-inflammatory spices that make up pumpkin spice! These include cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. Cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg can all help regulate blood sugar. Ginger can aid in digestion and soothe stomach upset, while nutmeg can support brain health and sleep. Try adding pumpkin spice to your morning coffee or, if you have a bit more time, you can make this delicious pumpkin spice latte.
