Here it is, friends. No one loves their fall pumpkin spice as much as I do. But when I heard about the sugar and additives, I realized how unhealthy it is for your body and brain. I haven’t had a pumpkin spice drink in two years… until now.
In the last two weeks, I started a mission. I wanted to make you the best pumpkin coffee latte. It had to be a natural recipe. Plus, it needed to be a Boost Your Brain recipe. As I began my new mission, like a scientist in a lab (that’s totally exaggerated) … I found some awesome recipes that are already brain boosting! Friends, I want to direct you to these three easy recipes. They are delicious and also brain boosting. Totally leaving this one to the professional women that understood the “bad ingredients” in your typical pumpkin latte and creamers.
But first, here’s a reminder on why these recipes are brain boosting. You should visit the Brain Boosting Lifestyle Change if you haven’t yet.
Most all natural pumpkin spice recipes include, but are not limited to, pumpkin spice and pumpkin. Pumpkin spice is made from a blend of spices and this blend has some brain boosting benefits:
Cinnamon: It helps with depression and anxiety. It lowers blood sugar levels and has anti-inflammatory properties. It lowers heart disease risk and fight Alzheimer & Parkinson’s. Additionally, it protects against cancer, etc.
Nutmeg: depression, anxiety, anti-inflammatory, indigestion, skin, reduce heart disease, cognitive role, prevent leukemia, etc
Cloves: depression, anxiety, regulate blood sugar, liver health, protect against cancer, reduce stomach ulcers etc.
Ginger: cognitive health, enhance brain activity directly, eases arthritis, lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol etc.
And then of course….
REAL Pumpkin puree: reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. It boosts immunity and improves skin health. It aids in weight loss and helps manage asthma. Additionally, it regulates blood pressure and diabetes.
Now that you have the basics let’s get to these, knock your cozy socks off, recipes I discovered on Pinterest.
Recipe 1: By: Ashley Fehr
What drew me to Ashley’s recipe was the ease of the slow cooker. She also explains how to substitute a dark rich coffee and opt to use diary-free and vegan ingredients. It’s delicious, easy and you can fridge it afterward or have it party ready.
Her recipe includes pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice usually has the ingredients I listed above, or you can make your own 👆. It also contains real cinnamon and natural maple syrup, which has a load of health benefits.

Megan’s recipe is awesome. You can easily save it in the fridge and use it in your coffee (it’s a creamer) daily… PLUS… cue the music (dun dun duuuun) see the halo ring forming? …it includes Turmeric! We LOVE Turmeric. It has many wonderful health benefits. For example, it improves brain performance. It also lowers the risk of brain disease. When including the ingredients cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, Megan’s recipe is the number one brain boosting recipe in this blog…
Megan’s recipe is simple, delicious and vegan friendly while boosting your brain and body’s health.

Recipe 3: By Sarah
The reason I love Sarah’s recipe is that it includes one of my favorites, chai. Chai is not only great tasting but also improves cognitive health. It boosts mental health and provides other healthy benefits for the body. Because of this, Sarah’s recipe is neck and neck with Megan’s for top brain boosting while enjoying some delicious pumpkin. I recommend using a healthy sugar when adding a couple dollops. I use cane sugar or honey.
