DIY Pumpkin Spice Mix Recipe

What is Pumpkin Spice Mix?
Pumpkin Spice is the epitome of the Fall flavors. When Autumn rolls around every year Pumpkin Spice is the thing to add to drinks and bring in the cozy feeling of Fall. It’s also super easy to make at home! I love getting high-quality organic spices from Frontier Co-op. Choosing to make it at home lets you know the ingredients and their quality. It also allows you to add the spice mix to more than just lattes! I enjoy creating new things to add my Pumpkin Spice Mix to. I highly recommend trying pumpkin spice mochas, cocoa, and chia seed pudding.
Health Benefits of Homemade Pumpkin Spice Mix
The spices in Pumpkin spice can do more than just add flavor to your Fall. They also have health-promoting properties. Cinnamon, allspice, clove, and ginger all are natural anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. They are also rich in antioxidants. Ginger also can aid in digestion and lowering blood sugar. Like Ginger, Nutmeg can aid in digestion but is also rich in antioxidants and has anti-microbial properties. Purchasing organic spices is also a wise choice to avoid using ingredients that are sprayed with herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer that can be detrimental to your health.
