The 7 Best Pumpkin Spice Products at Grocery Stores Right Now
Pumpkin spice cottage cheese? Consider us curious…
September is here, so we’re stocking up on our limited-edition fall favorites. While apple and caramel are worthy-to-rave-about autumnal flavors, pumpkin spice may be the most iconic of them all. Welcoming the taste of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove, it enhances the warmth of fall in any breakfast, drink, dessert, you name it!
We rounded up 7 of the best pumpkin spice products—new and returning—that we love or are running to the grocery store to try. Here are the items to add to your cart this season.

1. Chobani Pumpkin Spice Barista Oatmilk
While Chobani’s standard pumpkin spice oat milk is a fan-favorite, they’re taking it up a notch this year with their new barista-style pumpkin spice oat milk. This version touts a creamier taste that will mix well with your coffee. Like cow’s milk, this barista oat milk froths and foams—homemade pumpkin spice latte, anyone?
Oat milk is a low-fat, lactose-free option to dairy milk, but be mindful of the added sugar in this product. While lower than the typical fast-food pumpkin spice latte, we recommend making our lower-sugar recipe instead if you want to include the fall beverage into your routine.
2. Good Culture Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese
No, we’re not over cottage cheese just yet. It’s packed with protein, probiotics and is super easy to add to basically anything for a nutritious boost. Good Culture, one of our favorite cottage cheese brands, just launched their newest seasonal item: Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese. We’re definitely intrigued and may need to add in some fruit and pumpkin seeds for a tasty, light breakfast.
3. Amoretti Pumpkin Spice Almond Butter
The Amoretti Pumpkin Spice Almond Butter is back, and there’s enough in each jar to last you all season long. Almond butter is a heart-healthy, gut-healthy option, and it’s exciting to see that this seasonal product has no added sugar. Spread this warm-spiced almond butter onto a rice cake for a fall-forward snack.

Bobo’s is a brand that both you and your kids will love as they have a ton of gluten-free, dairy-free options. Their seasonal flavors are a prime example, and their Pumpkin Spice Oat Bar is a delicious choice for all lunch boxes. For a midday pick-me-up, enjoy this oat bar and reap the benefits of pumpkin spice and oats in each bite.
5. Dolly Parton Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix
Is Dolly Parton’s limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix the healthiest option? Not necessarily, but at EatingWell, we believe in the importance of treating yourself. As long as you’re eating your favorite desserts in moderation, they can be included in a healthy diet. And we just love Dolly, so we’re going to buy everything she sells, from her cookie mix to her Lodge skillets. And these soft, chewy cookies are just as delightful as any of your favorite Duncan Hines sweet treats.

6. Lifeway Pumpkin Spice Lowfat Kefir
Kefir is a fermented drink packed with probiotics. So Lifeway’s new autumnal kefir is not only going to provide good gut bacteria and support your microbiome, but it’s also rich in flavor, per our associate editorial director Carolyn Malcoun.
“I love Lifeway's Pumpkin Spice Kefir,” she shares. “It's not overly sweet, like some kefirs can be, and has a nice combination of warm spices. I think it would be a great base for overnight oats!”
