DIY Homemade "Pumpkin Spice" Creamer Recipe

A Homemade Alternative to Traditional Pumpkin Spice Creamer

 It's Pumpkin Time!
​
It's that time of year again. Pumpkin spice everything. 

Now before you go and grab all the pumpkin spice please consider your ingredients in your daily life and do not hesitate to learn how to read your ingredient labels. 

We always encourage the path to optimal health and wellness is to become aware of unknown ingredients.  The Food Babe did a great job demanding transparency from a company that used Class IV Caramel Coloring in their pumpkin spice which she explained in her book Feeding You Lies: How to Unravel the Food Industry's Playbook and Reclaim Your Health. I am bringing you this homemade recipe to help you avoid the unknown ingredients in the famous pumpkin spice that will be all around us for the next several months. 

I have been taking time to learn a lot more about ingredients not only in personal care products but in the food that I eat too. It has been truly life changing to develop an understanding about nutrition and the impact food has on my body, both positively and negatively, depending on the food we choose to fuel our body.

I have discovered that nutrition science has advanced in research and understanding of food over the last decade. There is a better understanding of nutrition, food, ingredients and the impact these things have at a metabolic and physiological level than ever before. I may not understand everything that's happening with the biology of human body but I can read and listen to podcasts and understand that food matters a lot. I can then make an informed choice that's best for me. The more I know about ingredients and what they do in the body, the more I know about that I should and should not be consuming on a regular basis, which is key here.

Personally, I believe its all about becoming informed, at least that is what I tell my middle school health students. When you become informed, you can begin to make the best choices for you and your family. You can decide which risks you are willing to take and which risks your are going to avoid.

Many of my recommended books that I listed on my page will help guide you into feeling confident in the choices you are making. I listed all the books that provided some form of information that has impacted our choices or helped me explore food and nutrition in a new way.

Personally, becoming informed has empowered me to feel better about my health than ever before and I highly recommend reading these three books if you are ready to make changes in the kitchen too. 

• Food: What the Heck Should I Eat, by Mark Hyman M.D.
• Eat for Life by Joel Fuhrman M.D. 
• The Paleo Cure: Eat Right for Your Genes, Body Type, and Personal Health Needs -- Prevent and Reverse Disease, Lose Weight Effortlessly, and Look and Feel Better than Ever​ by Chriss Kresser

​I started slowly makings a few changes in our food choices after reading these books. Young Living Vitality Essential Oils have helped me create flavorful food while eliminating added flavors with unknown ingredients.

I started cooking and baking most things homemade from scratch and avoiding more and more packages items. I also created a list to help our friends and family find some of my recommended items that I now use in the kitchen. These are staples in many of our smoothies, dessert, and breakfast recipes. Take a look at my recommended Pantry List! ​
