Autumn is here, which means it’s time to indulge in pumpkin spice and all things nice. From cinnamon-spiced lattes to pumpkin protein bars, here are 5 healthy ways to get your PSL fix.

Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte

No pumpkin spice roundup would be complete without a nod to the classic PSL. Spiced with cinnamon and sweetened with a little maple syrup, this dairy-free version ticks all the comfort boxes, without any of the extra sugar.

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix

This trail mix combines two autumn essentials: pumpkin spice and a slow cooker. While it might seem like an odd way to toast nuts and seeds, using a crockpot means you can go about your day while your trail mix slowly toasts to spiced perfection. Loaded with antioxidant-rich nuts, fruit and cacao nibs, this tasty snack is amazingly healthy too.

Flourless Pumpkin Bars

Chilly autumn walks call for tasty spiced treats, and these flourless pumpkin bars definitely fit the bill. Using almond butter instead of flour keeps deliciously moist, while also adding an extra protein hit.
