School’s back in session, the weather’s cooling down, and the leaves are starting to turn. This can only mean one thing: fall is coming. Fall is nice for the aesthetic views, but most people (including me) look forward to this time because it’s officially pumpkin spice season. If you’re a pumpkin spice fanatic, Whole Foods has plenty of options for you to get this season that are arguably more satisfying than grabbing a PSL from Starbucks. Here are all the Whole Foods pumpkin spice goodies to look forward to this fall.
1. 365 Everyday Value Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Sandwich Crème cookies
If you’re looking for a fall-like Oreo, these pumpkin spice cheesecake sandwich cookies are for you. If you allow these cookies to take a dip in a glass of milk, your ordinary milk could turn into pumpkin spice cheesecake milk. I’ll have a heaping glass of that, please.
2. 365 Everyday Value Organic Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream sandwiches aren’t just a summer treat anymore. These pumpkin pie ice cream sandwiches will cool you off when you’re feeling a little too warm and toasty after sprinting across campus to make your last class.
#SpoonTip: If you’re on a budget, you can make your own snickerdoodle cookie dough and pumpkin ice cream sandwiches at home, too.
3. 365 Everyday Value Pumpkin Spice Granola
If you have everyday foods that need an upgrade for the fall, sprinkle some of this pumpkin spice granola on them. Boring oatmeal will turn into festive pumpkin spice oatmeal with this granola. What makes this granola next-level is the added cranberries and apples in it.
4. 365 Everyday Value Organic Pumpkin Spice Apple Sauce
As weird as it is to see pumpkin spice on an apple sauce container, it’s basically like cinnamon apple sauce taken up a notch. This would be a great substitute for oil in certain bread recipes. For instance, if you use 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in your banana bread recipe, use 1/2 cup of this apple sauce instead for instant fall flavor.
5. 365 Everyday Value Pumpkin Pie Popcorn
If you’re not feeling butter popcorn or kettle corn, try this pumpkin pie popcorn. This popcorn will satisfy your sweet tooth with its holiday spice blend and caramel sauce. You could even chop up this popcorn and put it on pumpkin ice cream for an extra crunch.
6. 365 Everyday Value Pumpkin Spice Bites
If you need a little more than pumpkin to cure your fall fix, fear not because these pumpkin spice bites have an apple filling. I bet if you put these bites in the microwave for a few seconds, the apple inside would be warm, gooey, and oh so good.
7. 365 Everyday Value Organic Pumpkin Spiced Apple Cider
Whole Foods is saving us again with the pumpkin and apple combo. This apple cider is pumpkin spiced and naturally flavored, so you can expect a refreshing drink. Plus, its 100% juice, so you’re putting something good in your body by having this.
8. 365 Everyday Value Organic Pumpkin & Sage Farro Pilaf
If you’re thinking there’s too much sweet stuff on this list, I get you. This is an item for a savory fall feast. This pumpkin and sage pilaf would make a great side dish alongside mashed potatoes and stuffing on Turkey Day.
9. Talenti Pumpkin Pie Gelato
When you’re feeling fancy and ice cream just doesn’t cut it, Talenti understands. Their pumpkin pie gelato is the perfect texture for when you don’t want the mushiness of pumpkin pie, but you still want pumpkin pie flavor.
10. Noosa Pumpkin Yogurt Cups
This pumpkin Noosa yogurt is the snack you want if you’re looking for a nutritious pick-me-up. This yogurt provides some pumpkin protein when you want to taste the fall flavor without lots of sugar.
11. Daiya Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cheezecake
If you’re vegan, it might feel like your eating options are slim, but this “cheesecake” changes everything. Daiya’s Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cheezecake is here for you. Dig in without worrying about dairy, gluten, or soy, because there isn’t any.
12. Ben & Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream
If you’ve never had a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, now’s the time to try one. Ben & Jerry’s delivers again with their pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. Don’t wait on this, because it’s a limited batch, and you know how people stock up on their Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (totally not saying I’m one of those people, but…).
13. RXBAR Pumpkin Spice Protein Bar
If you told me I could get 12 grams of protein from a pumpkin spice protein bar, I wouldn’t believe you. However, RXBAR’s pumpkin spice protein bar is the real deal. No BS, just like the packaging says.
14. Terra Beauregard Sweets & Fairytale Pumpkin Veggie Chips
When a flavor listed on a bag of chips is “Fairytale Pumpkin,” that’s when you know you need to try those chips. Pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg vegetable chips sound like they should be downright illegal with all that flavor. Luckily, you can get these chips legally at Whole Foods.
15. Little Secrets Spiced Pumpkin Pie Dark Chocolate Candies
Move aside M&Ms, Little Secrets has a big secret they’re revealing for fall, and that’s spiced pumpkin pie dark chocolate candies. There aren’t too many products with chocolate and pumpkin, let alone dark chocolate and pumpkin. The bag says “sharing optional,” so I’m keeping this candy all to myself.
16. Califia Pumpkin Spice Latte Dairy-Free Cold Brew
If you don’t like drinking lattes, but you want coffee that tastes like a pumpkin spice latte, you’re going to want to get a bottle of this cold brew. Watch out Starbucks, we can make our own PSL-flavored beverages now.
17. Birch Benders Paleo Pumpkin Spice Pancake and Waffle Mix
Breakfast food isn’t always easy to make. However, this pumpkin spice pancake and waffle mix changes the game. All you need to do to get a delicious batter is add water. The only way it could get easier is if someone else makes the batter for you.
If you have fall fever, there are plenty of pumpkin goodies you can get at Whole Foods today. Plus, almost all of these products are naturally flavored, so you’re guaranteed real pumpkin taste. Whether you want to eat or drink pumpkin flavor, the options are endless.
