Fall flavors are out in full force, including the ever-popular pumpkin spice. With so many vegan options to choose from, it’s easier than ever to make kindness a key part of your autumnal menu.
It’s official: gourd season is upon us, and with it comes all things pumpkin spice. Whether you’re a pumpkin pie enthusiast or you’re ready to add a taste of cinnamon and nutmeg to your shopping list, we took a look at some plant-based options that are sure to satisfy.
From lattes to desserts, snacks, and savories, our vegan pumpkin spice round-up serves options that’ll put compassion and a taste of fall on your plate (or in your mug).
1. La Colombe oatmilk draft latte: pumpkin spice
Crafted with foamy nitrous-infused oat milk, cold brew coffee, and real pumpkin, La Colombe’s chilled vegan pumpkin spice latte is best served straight out of the fridge.
2. Califa Farms pumpkin spice latte cold brew coffee
For a nuttier twist, Califa Farms infuses pumpkin, spices, and almond milk in their cold brew plant-based latte. Just chill and enjoy.
3. Starbucks non-dairy pumpkin spice flavored creamer
Prefer a hot cup of pumpkin-spiced joe? Starbucks’ non-dairy pumpkin spice flavored creamer features a blend of almond milk and oat milk with pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
But buyer beware: while Starbucks’ in-store espresso beverages can be customized with oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk, the pumpkin spice sauce in a typical Starbucks PSL contains condensed skim milk.
