When the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp, pumpkin spice lattes become the ultimate seasonal ritual. But why do we crave these flavors every autumn?
-
Warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves naturally warm the body, making them the perfect match for cooler weather.
-
Pumpkin spice is nostalgic, evoking memories of cozy family gatherings, baked goods, and cherished holiday traditions.

Seasonal flavors ground us, helping mark the change from summer’s brightness to autumn’s comfort.
Adding fruit-based smoothie powders, such as mango and Bright Boost, makes this version unique; it balances cozy spices with uplifting tropical notes, creating a latte that feels both warming and refreshing.
