Gut-Friendly Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam For Fall

Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam

It might still be blazing hot here in Texas with temps lingering around 100 degrees, but that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace the cozy flavors of fall! 🍁 For me, fall isn’t just about pumpkin spice—it’s the start of my favorite season. I love the cooler weather (even if it’s gradual here in Texas), the start of football season, and of course, the holidays! With all of that excitement, I couldn’t resist whipping up a pumpkin cream cold brew to share.

This recipe not only brings that comforting autumn feel but is also a gut-friendly alternative for those with GI issues. It’s sugar-free, dairy-free, and super easy to make. Plus, if coffee doesn’t always agree with you, you can easily swap the cold brew for decaf or a coffee alternative like Dandy Blend, which gives that roasted flavor without the caffeine!

 

Gut-Loving Benefits of the Spices

What makes this recipe even better is that it’s packed with functional ingredients. Who says coffee can’t be good for your gut too? Here are some of the gut-loving spices you’ll find in this drink:

  • Ginger:

    Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger also supports gut motility. This means it helps food move through the digestive tract smoothly, reducing bloating and discomfort.

  • Cinnamon:

    A powerhouse for blood sugar balance, cinnamon can help regulate insulin sensitivity and avoid those unwanted sugar spikes that often upset digestion.

  • Nutmeg:

    This spice has long been used to soothe GI distress, making it a calming addition for those prone to stomach discomfort.

  • Pumpkin:

    Besides being the star of fall, pumpkin puree adds a bit of prebiotic fiber, which helps feed the healthy bacteria in your gut.

Together, these ingredients don’t just taste like fall in a cup, they work harmoniously to support your digestive health.

  • ☕️ 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ☕️ Splash of maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

For a Gut-Friendly Experience

Remember, coffee can sometimes irritate the gut, especially when consumed on an empty stomach. For happy hormones and a happier gut, try drinking your coffee with or after a meal. If regular coffee doesn’t sit well with you, feel free to opt for decaf cold brew or even a coffee alternative like Dandy Blend, which offers that same cozy roasted flavor without the potential digestive upset.

 

Storing Your Pumpkin Cold Foam

If you have extra cold foam, don’t worry—it stores beautifully in the fridge! Simply pour the leftover foam into an airtight container and store it for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy another glass, give the foam a quick shake or stir, and it’s good as new. This makes it easy to add a little pumpkin spice magic to your coffee throughout the week without the hassle of making a new batch every time.

Enjoy the taste of fall while treating your gut right! Be sure to tag me when you try this recipe—I can’t wait to hear how you love it! 🍂
