Tis the season for pumpkin-flavored everything. We’ve got the lowdown on the healthiest pumpkin-flavored menu items at Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts and, of course, Wawa.
Once the table from the last summer party has been cleared and Labor Day weekend has passed, it seems like there’s only one thing on everyone’s minds: pumpkin.
In recent years, the pumpkin spice craze has reached a fever pitch. The number of pumpkin-flavored or scented items in the grocery store has grown to include crackers, chicken sausage—even pasta sauce.
These limited-time offerings are fun and sometimes even tasty, but they also often pack on excess calories, sugar and fat.
Luckily, there are plenty of pumpkin spice products that you can enjoy without threatening to your waistline. Check out our list of a few healthy picks for pumpkin lovers.
