Nature’s Path Organic Flax Plus Pumpkin Raisin Crunch

Like raisin bran? Well life just got a WHOLE lot better. Not because of all the WHOLE grains and fiber, but because it’s raisin bran WITH pumpkin flavor! Sayyyy whaaaaa?! Yeah, crazy! And what’s even better… the cereal doesn’t get SOGGY after like 2 seconds like raisin bran does!

I love this cereal so much I am already on my 4th box of the month. And the month just started! I love eating a small bowl of this with almond/cashew milk blend [there’s one with an added 10g of protein- amazing!]. It is great for a quick fulfilling dinner, or even as a snack prior or after the gym, errands, or sitting around on your couch watching halloween movies.

I highly recommend this cereal. It definitely beats out Pumpkin Spice Cheerios and Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice O’s.

The breakdown:

  • 6g Protein
  • 40g Carbs
  • 7g Fiber
  • Excellent source of ALA Omega-3

Pumpkin Score: 5 out of 5 Pumpkins. You’re SMASHING, Nature’s Path! Pump’d to see what you come up with next!

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Body Butter

fullsizerender1

This Body Butter is just what I needed to lather my crusty, crackling skin in! Mmm… If that’s not hot, I don’t know what is!

This ‘butter’ consists of:

  • Coconut Oil
  • Shea Butter
  • Pumpkin Seed Oil

Smells so great and is not overly buttery or thick on the skin; it goes on very smooth and my skin is so silky soft right now. Now I just need an attractive lad to massage it all over my body…

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Flavored Dog Treats

I thought about tasting these, but haven’t gotten that desperate yet. Maybe in December when they are still around and all my pumpkin spice supply has ran out?!

  • My dog took it right away! She was excited for it, not that smell and walk away type of treat.
  • She hid it under the bed so The Purrfessor couldn’t get to it.
  • I give it to her at night she eats 1/2 and saves the rest for the AM. She, like me, is good at rationing her Pumpkin treats.

Based on the above, I’d say my dog likes these treats.

Ample Hills Creamery Fall 4-Pack Ice Cream

fullsizerender2

The Fall 4-Pack is a curated selection of Ample Hills’ favorite fall flavors!

  • Vanilla Bean: made with steeped Mexican vanilla beans and Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract
  • Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace: brown sugar cinnamon ice cream with Nonna’s homemade oatmeal lace cookies
  • No Sleep Till Pumpkin: coffee ice cream with pieces of housemade pumpkin ooey gooey butter cake
  • Autumn in New York: apple cider sorbet made with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and amaretto liqueur

My favorite was “Autumn in New York”.  Just so happens that’s also my favorite tagline in general. Sure has been a splendid Autumn so far!

Thanks the Dudley’s who shipped this ice cream and provided for the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Party. I feel very honored to have such great friends that also care about my pumpkin obsession. Hearts all around. 🙂

Every pint of Ample Hills ice cream is made at our shop in Gowanus, Brooklyn. We are a growing and evolving business, but we still make our ice cream the same way we did when we opened three years ago: pasteurizing on-site, making mix-ins from scratch, and challenging ourselves to make the next best flavor.

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Ice Cream

  • Pumpkin- ish
  • Great consistency for ice cream
  • Tad too sweet= can’t eat too much
  • Overall, good flavor

From what I RAEcall, I believe that Edy’s Pumpkin Ice Cream was a tad better, but looking to find that, no luck yet. Also, would really love to find a Pumpkin Gelato! As I prefer gelato to ice cream. Talenti, where are you with your pumpkin!?
