Celebrate pumpkin season with these best healthy pumpkin products you need to try this fall! There’s a pumpkin item for for every occasion (I’m talking breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks!), diet and lifestyle.
Get your pumpkin fix on in a healthy way with these healthy pumpkin products you need to try this fall! As a dietitian and self proclaimed lover of all things pumpkin, I am always on the hunt for new pumpkin products that are made with real pumpkin, taste delicious and that don’t go overboard on sugar!
This best pumpkin product list are all things that I’ve tried and enjoyed and have my stamp of approval from a nutritional standpoint. As a dietitian I believe that you can still enjoy the foods you love and feel your best and that restriction and and constantly feeling guilty when it comes to food is not the answer!
Some of these healthy pumpkin products only come along once a year, so I say enjoy them! I think one of the reasons we love pumpkin and pumpkin spice so much is because it evokes a sense of nostalgia and all of those warm and cozy vibes of the season!

Whether you follow a gluten free, grain free, dairy free, or paleo diet, there is a pumpkin product out there for you! Now more than ever, brands expanding their seasonal offering to include things like paleo pumpkin spice granola and dairy free pumpkin spice oat milks lattes and I’m totally here for it.
