It's Pumpkin season again! If you don't like those crazy, sugary sweet pumpkin drinks then this recipe is for you. You can control all of the ingredients, the level of spice, the amount of pumpkin, what kind of milk and the sugar - or no sugar.
This is so easy to make and a wonderful treat to make right at home. Plus, it actually has ingredients that are good for you. Be sure to use canned pumpkin puree and not the sugar- laden canned pumpkin pie mix.
It turns out that pure pumpkin is loaded with vitamins, A, C & E as well as magnesium, iron and potassium and of course we can't forget about all of the beta carotene and fiber...awesome for your digestive tract.
The vitamins also help with your vision and your immune system. It helps to slow down sugar absorption which helps with weight while giving you lots of good nutrition.
The spices used in a pumpkin latte are warming and stimulating helping circulation and strengthening your immune system. They also help kill microbes and increase digestion.
Cinnamon is known to lower blood sugar and cholesterol while increasing healthy HDL while also supporting your immune system.
There is a reason we eat (and drink) for the season...foods in season prepare our body and organs for the season ahead and pumpkins pack so much healthy nutrition that we should celebrate and drink up!

Rosehips are the fruit of the rose flower. Most people are familiar with and understand how touse rose petals but are not so familiar with rosehips.
If a rose is left on the plant and not picked, it is fertilized by pollinators and the petals will fall away. The base of the flower then swells and develops its "fruit" which will look like a pod.
It is usually a soft peach color or can be pink during the hot months but once the frost hits the fruit it becomes a beautiful crimson color. This is when the "hip" is ready to be eaten.
If you need to beat the heat these popsicles are the perfect solution!
Cold, refreshing, loaded with healthy fruit, low sugar and super easy to make dairy free if you prefer with this recipe. Of course you can use the milk of your choice.
