There’s something magical about wrapping your hands around a warm mug when the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall. This Happy Gut Pumpkin Spice Latte is more than just a seasonal sip—it’s a cozy ritual, a moment of calm, and a celebration of gut-friendly indulgence. With velvety pumpkin puree, warming spices, and a cloud of coconut cream, each sip wraps you in the comfort of autumn while nourishing your body from the inside out. Brewed with intention, blended with love—this is fall in a cup, the Happy Gut way.

• 1 cup brewed Happy Gut Coffee (preferably medium roast, low acidity)
• ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any gut-friendly milk alternative)
• 2 Tbsp pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
• 1 Tbsp coconut cream (the thick top from a can of full-fat coconut milk)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
• Pinch of ground cloves
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of sea salt

Because your gut deserves better than bitter, burnt beans. Our medium roast is air-roasted to perfection—smooth, rich, and low-acid to prevent bloating and reflux. It's also third-party tested for mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides, so you can trust that every cup supports your microbiome, not works against it. Whether you're starting your day or savoring a midday pause, Happy Gut Coffee is the ideal foundation for a latte that loves you back.
