Forget DD and Starbucks! Try These Healthy Pumpkin Treats From Your Grocery Store

(PCM) If you find yourself indulging in just about every pumpkin-flavored treat out there – from pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin bagels and milkshakes – you’re not alone; we are a pumpkin-obsessed nation…especially this time of year! But, if you want to avoid weight gain this season (or at least before the real holiday eating begins) you may want to start cutting back on the decadent fall treats.

What’s the harm in picking up a pumpkin muffin from your favorite coffee shop? Well, nothing…if you only do it once in a while. Starbucks’ pumpkin muffins, breads, and scones have 340 – 480 calories and 13 – 17g fat each; Dunkin Donuts’ Pumpkin Donut has 360 calories and 21g fat, and the Pumpkin Muffin has 550 calories and 24g fat!

Luckily, fast food chains and coffee shops aren’t the only ones supplying limited-edition pumpkin treats. Of course, you can always make your own muffins, breads, and pies at home, but you can also find delicious and healthy options at your local grocery store!

Here are a few of the best new pumpkin products on the market:

Thomas’ Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bagel Thins: These high-fiber bagels have just 110 calories and 1g fat

Coffee-mate Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer: This creamer has just 15 calories per tablespoon. Save yourself hundreds of calories by making your own coffee at home instead of ordering a pumpkin latte out!

Yoplait Light Pumpkin Pie: This limited-edition fat-free yogurt has just 90 calories and is almost as good as the real thing!

Edy’s Slow Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream: With just 110 calories per half cup, this ice cream is a better bet that what you would be served at an ice cream shop, just as long as you can stop yourself!
