I know, I know the words “pumpkin” and “spice” have been back to back way to many times already this month. But I’ve found a few pumpkin spice things that are just too good not to share with you before this season-long pumpkin party is over.
This post of pumpkin spice picks has a little bit of everything from snacking to skincare to seeds! All with a pumpkin spice theme threading through.
Most of the show-and-tell and snack-making is in the video, it’s really the center of this post. I tried not to say “delicious”, “love”, or “you gotta try this” too many times, but you have to excuse my excitement. Watch first, then keep scrolling for links and why-I-loves and the recipe below…

Snacking.
Natural Delights Pecan Pumpkin Pie Spiced Date Rolls My first time trying date rolls and I think I have found a new snacking obsession. Chewy, crunchy, and the perfect amount of spice in this special fall variety. My tip: try them chilled for a slightly firmer, still chewy, perfect texture!
Skincare.
BeSolFul Organic Whipped Pumpkin Spice Body Butter Feels like a cloud. Smells like pumpkin spiced bliss. Makes my skin feel soft, nourished, and happy. And the moisture lasts too! Made by hand with the purest of ingredients by my amazing friend Mandy. I don’t think I can ever go back to lotion now.
Seeds.
Sprouted Seed Co. Black Raw Chia Seeds High quality chia seeds in convenient resealable packaging at a really great price. If you buy chia seeds as often as I do, then you will know that $10 for 2 pounds is something to be exited about! Plus I love supporting small companies, especially ones who really stand behind their products. Chia seeds are tiny but mighty, I eat them everyday, and this has become my go-to brand.
But let’s make them a little more pumpkin spiced…
It’s not that I don’t love the texture of traditional chia seed pudding. It’s just that I love the texture of a silky chia seed pudding even more. Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding made super creamy with my double-blending trick. Just 5 ingredients. Packed with fiber. Sweetened with fruit.
The afternoon sun was shining bright, so rather than fight it I just let it glow…

Cold foods 😉 You know it girl! And you little stinker 😉 Finally some pumpkin chia pudding!!!!!! It’s about time you put up a recipe for it!!! Hahahahaha! I just love this all and I love the video and I loved seeing you’re face 😛 Hahahaha (creepy!)
This post is just what I needed on this Friday (p.s. we need to talk!)
Anyway, keep on pumpkining! I will be pumpkining way into november…..and decemeber……
I know, finally my favorite little living-on-the-edge seeds make a true appearance!!! I probably will be pumpkin-ing in Nov too, but still October feels like the prime pumpkin month 🙂 Creep on, and talk to you later today 🙂
Ahhh I’ve been hoping to find those date rolls at a store near me, but no such luck 🙁
The texture of this pudding looks amazinggggg! Definitely going to snack on this soon!
And lovely video as usual <3
You’re the sweetest Leah <3 I know, I keep optimistically walking into the date section of the grocery store hoping they will make an appearance...but nope 🙁 That's why I broke down and ordered them. But you could just make some yourself, it'd be easy as (pumpkin) pie 🙂
I am obsessed with date rolls, but haven’t purchased them in forever because they don’t last long in our house…but I NEED to find these (I must try all things pumpkin-y)! Natalie, you seriously are the sweetest!! Thank you so much for the review, it makes me so happy to hear that you like the body butter. Lots of love to you, sweet friend! Willow and I just finished watching your video and I had to rewind it several times (willow’s demand) so she could see your dog! I thought it was SO wonderful to see your face!! And the color of the chia pudding looks delicious to me…maybe because it looks like almond or peanut butter ? We baked up the brûlée last night for a treat later today, but now I need to make this pudding!! Thank you, again, Natalie!! ❤️❤️❤️
I totally understand the obsession! Now that I know how good they are you better believe I’m going to have to try the non pumpkin spice ones too! I absolutely love the body butter, I do hope you make other scents (or just keep pumpkin spice year round, I’m fine with that too) because I will be needing more when this container is gone! I’ll have to make an entire Nolan video just for Willow 🙂 Enjoy the brûlée and thank you Mandy, you are the best <3 <3 <3
Natalie!!! This chia pudding is SOOOOOOO yummy! Creamy with just the right amount of pumpkin-y flavor and sweetness level. Thumbs up from our little family <3 We'll definitely be making this again!

You are just on a creamy pumpkin dessert streak!!! I’m so glad you loved it <3
This looks absolutely delicious! And btw, there are never too many pumpkin recipes!

Haha thanks Andreea! Since we only have a few months to squeeze in the pumpkin recipes (without being that weirdo that eat pumpkin in the summer a.k.a. me sometimes lol) I think infinite pumpkin recipes is the only way to go 🙂
This looks amazing, especially the smoothie, I can’t wait to try it out!
Thanks Sofie! The chia pudding is delish, such an easy way to get a little pumpkin spice fix 🙂
I LOVE your videos Natalie..they are so fun and entertaining my friend! I seriously love this post too….there is never enough of pumpkin spice! I just ordered Mandy’s lotion the other day and I cannot WAIT to get it! It looks dreamy, creamy and light. I will try not to eat it, haha! This pumpkin spice pudding looks insane too….love that you blended up the chia seeds because I think tradtional chia seed pudding is gross because of all the seeds, but this looks a million times better. I also love your fall photos…so pretty and warm!
Thank you Brandi, especially for your sweet words about the photos! I am so excited for you to try Mandy’s lotion, you will have to let me know what you think! I did actually take a little bit, and trust me your skin will like it more than you tongue, but if I could replicate that light fluffy texture in an edible form I absolutely would 😀 And I don’t even mind the chia texture, but it isn’t “pudding” to me, pudding is meant to be smooth and creamy. Definitely one of those recipes that makes me appreciate my high speed blender 🙂
Yum!!! I haven’t made a chia pudding in ages, and your post has definitely inspired me to make one ASAP! I need to try this! It looks so delicious and creamy. The pumpkin flavour sounds sooo good! 🙂 I love the sound of the date rolls too! Mmmm!

Thanks girl, you definitely should revisit chia seed pudding! And date rolls! I can’t get enough of them!!! I do realize they are essentially just like bliss balls, but it’s somehow more fun when they come already made 😀 haha
Loved the video and the dog appearance 😀 hahaha. So cute! The date rolls look amazing, I’ve never seen something like these in the stores here but I’ll keep looking 🙂 And the pumpkin chia puddings looks so yummy – it’s such a great idea to blend the chia seeds along with the milk & pumpkin!
Thanks Bianca, I hope you can find some date rolls! They are the perfect little snack 🙂 And the smooth chia pudding actually happened because I was trying to convince my mom to try chia seeds and I knew she would never even go near something with the chia texture. I still like both smooth and chia-y, there’s something about that funky texture that is just fun to eat!
I love this post, Natalie! 🙂 Your pictures are always so colorful and bright! The date rolls look amazing (I’ve never seen something like that before in the stores), but your chia pudding looks even better! Yummy! 🙂
You are the sweetest Sina <3 I wonder if the date rolls are an American thing, because you are not the first person to have said that you've never seen them before? But they would be easy to make at home too 🙂
Oh my goodness, all this pumpkin spice deliciousness — where to begin. I’ve been eyeing Mandy’s whipped butter too. I think you’ve convinced me 😉
About those rolls — I LOVE date rolls but have never seen pumpkin spiced ones here! And with pecans too — my favorite combo. Can’t wait to find some.
I’ve also been enjoying pumpkin chia pudding, but will have to try your magical double blending trick. Sounds interesting!
I am obsessed with Mandy’s body butter, can’t recommend it enough! Every day I fall a little more in love with it, and she just added new scents, I’m so excited! The date rolls are amazing, not that easy to find sadly :'( But I may have to recreate them at home, that should be easy enough! And double blend, girl, double blend! It’s awesome with chocolate chia pudding too 🙂
you’re so naturally pretty! you should do more monthly fav videos 🙂
Wow thank you, so sweet <3
Hi, looks fab but how much chia seeds? It doesn’t say, thanks
Hi, so sorry about that! I am having a technical issue with my recipe plugin. It should be visible now, it’s 1/4 cup chia seeds.
