It’s finally fall, and we’ve been waiting for it! Last week the temps on Thursday were well into the 90’s, but just as the Equinox came they dropped over twenty degrees into the beautiful, glorious 70’s. Ahhh, sweet relief.
As the temps dip lower in the early mornings, I find myself craving something warm, creamy, and pumpkin-y to sip on as I start my day. This healthy pumpkin spice creamer is IT.
Dairy-free and simple to whip up, I store a jar of this creamer in the fridge and it lasts all week.
You can add some of this to your coffee, tea, or simply to a warmed up mug of dairy-free milk such as almond or cashew milk.
This creamer gets it sweetness from a touch of coconut sugar, which is better for your body than white sugar, and organic vanilla bean which gives that vanilla flavor with a bit more velvety richness.
I’ve been off of caffeine for a while so I first brew about 3/4 of a cup of Rooibos tea, then remove the tea bag and add top off with the creamer.
I like my drink pretty hot so I add it all to this warmer/frother (I use the older version of this one) and let it work its magic, sometimes adding collagen powder or my powdered mushroom supplements (you can’t even taste them!).
