Pumpkin season!
(I've meant to do this post for over a month. It's just taken some time for me to actually do it!)
If you know me, you know I LOVE a PSL! This year, I decided I was going to compare the pumpkin creamers offered at grocery stores just to see if a) they compare or b) if I could save any money by not going to Starbucks all the time. 😂
I tried four - Coffeemate, Starbucks, Kroger, and Natural Bliss. (I really wanted to get the International Delight because I love their creamers, but I only saw the sugar free in store. Plus, I'm going to be drinking pumpkin creamer for a WHILE, so it's ok that I didn't have a fifth one! hahahaha)
This afternoon, I made a pot of coffee and tried these four in a line up. Here are my thoughts!
Coffeemate offered the frothiest option (when I used the frother), and I really enjoyed that. Also, "spicy" was the first thought that came to my mind when I tasted it. I loved that because it reminded me of a chai tea latte, which is my favorite non-coffee drink to order!
Y'all. Honestly? I bought this creamer and the Cinnamon Dolce one (since that's my #1 Starbucks beverage option), and I was so let down. I knew they wouldn't taste the same as what I get from my favorite place, but come on, Starbucks. I don't even feel like they are that similar. (Also, I'm not a critic, so this is hard for me...but I wouldn't buy again and won't finish these.)
The Natural Bliss option isn't as sweet or pumpkin-y, but I'm sure it's probably also the healthiest! If you want a good option that tastes like fall with only a few ingredients that you can pronounce, this is your winner!
Final decision: I would go for the Coffeemate or the Kroger brand! My #1 fave is the Coffeemate!

Ok, Kroger! Come through! This one is the sweetest. It frothed at first, but it quickly dissipated and just became smooth. So enjoyable!

What a fun post! I'm going to try that CoffeeMate one the next time I go to the store!
