’Tis the season for pumpkin spice everything. Even if you enjoy seasonal treats like pumpkin bread or pumpkin spice lattes, the idea that they’re only around for a limited time might make you a little more excited than usual. The delicious pumpkin spice flavor is a delightful sign of the cooler weather and fun fall activities ahead, but you might think of it as a guilty pleasure. Luckily, guilt isn’t an ingredient in this recipe for fall success. There are all sorts of ways to enjoy pumpkin spice in a health-conscious way—even your favorite gyms in Modesto and across California can get in on the action. Here’s how.
Get New Recipes From Your Favorite Health Club
Delicious treats are front and center during fall. With fun, tasty recipes, you can conveniently whip up some of your favorite pumpkin spice treats and beverages at home. Plus, you can put your own fresh twist on the recipes while avoiding the added sugar and other ingredients that don’t align with your wellness journey. Search for recipes on your gym or health club’s blog for some health-conscious ideas. You may be able to find ways to enjoy the season’s quintessential flavors in smoothies, oatmeal, and homemade lattes or frappes.
Explore Different Ways to Refuel After a Workout
Speaking of lattes, you may be in the habit of heading to your favorite coffee shop for a caffeinated drink before your morning gym sessions. A decadent pumpkin spice latte might seem counterintuitive to your fitness goals. While PSLs in moderation aren’t a big deal, you may not always feel great after drinking one. Even though guilt isn’t on the menu, you might not want to order the fall-themed drinks right before or after exercising.
That said, if you still want to get your seasonal coffee fix after a workout at one of the best gyms in Napa or Modesto, remember that there are plenty of ways to customize your drink for a feel-good pick-me-up. You might order a whole milk latte with one pump of pumpkin spice to get your protein and fat for post-workout recovery while still enjoying the fall flavor you know and love.
Find Alternative Ways to Enjoy the Season
There are a variety of other ways to enjoy the season with or without pumpkin spice as well. Whether you like to spend your time at the gym or take your activities outdoors, autumn is sure to open the door to tons of fun adventures. You can go on jogs and walks with friends to enjoy the colors of the changing leaves. Or discover entirely new ways to decorate your home for the season. You could even find creative ways to enjoy the soothing scent of pumpkin spice with crafts, candles, or an aromatherapeutic yoga session.
Pumpkin spice has become a big part of the fall season. Whether you’re a fan of the flavor or not, you probably can’t go through a season without seeing, smelling, or tasting it—not even when you visit the gym. So, go ahead and enjoy the season in the best ways: lots of family, lots of visits to your favorite gyms in Palmdale, Napa, or Modesto, and lots of pumpkin spice.
