Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew offers a festive twist on coffee, with some nutritional benefits from the pumpkin. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and antioxidants. To make it healthier, consider using unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk instead of heavy cream to reduce calories and saturated fat. You can also reduce the amount of maple syrup or use a sugar-free sweetener alternative. Cold brew coffee is naturally less acidic than hot brewed coffee, which may be easier on the stomach. While this drink can be a tasty treat, it's important to be mindful of added sugars and calories. For a lighter version, use less of the pumpkin cream topping or enjoy the cold brew with just a splash of pumpkin-spiced milk. As with all caffeinated beverages, moderation is key for maintaining healthy sleep patterns.

Ingredients

 

For the cold brew:

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
  • 4 cups cold water

For the pumpkin cream:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Additional:

  • Ice cubes
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. For cold brew: Combine ground coffee and cold water in a large jar. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

  2. Strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Store in the refrigerator.

  3. For pumpkin cream: In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  4. Using a hand mixer or frother, whip the mixture until soft peaks form.

  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes.

  6. Pour cold brew over the ice, leaving room at the top for the cream.

  7. Gently spoon the pumpkin cream over the cold brew.

  8. Sprinkle with a dusting of ground cinnamon.

  9. Serve immediately with a straw for stirring.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Pineapple Tajín Fruit & Cottage Cheese Cups

Cottage cheese is having a well-deserved nutritional moment—it’s one of the highest-protein dairy foods available per calorie, delivering casein protein that digests slowly and supports satiety for hours. Paired with pineapple’s natural bromelain enzymes, which aid digestion and reduce inflammation, this cup is one of the most genuinely nourishing snack combinations in the collection.

Coconut Curry Chickpea & Basmati Rice Bowls

Curcumin—the primary bioactive compound in curry powder’s turmeric component—has one of the strongest anti-inflammatory profiles of any dietary compound studied, and its absorption increases dramatically when consumed with fat. The coconut milk in this bowl provides precisely that fat context, making every serving of this curry an unusually efficient anti-inflammatory preparation.

The Ice Cream Paradox: Why the Simplest Dessert Is the Hardest to Make

Full-fat dairy — including the cream and egg yolks that form the base of genuinely well-made ice cream — contains fat-soluble vitamins including A, D, E, and K2 that are present in much lower concentrations in low-fat dairy alternatives. The specific fat in cream also contains conjugated linoleic acid and medium-chain triglycerides that have demonstrated metabolic benefits in clinical research. The nutritional case for occasional high-quality full-fat ice cream over frequent consumption of low-fat versions engineered with stabilizers, gums, and artificial flavors is more defensible than the low-fat dietary ideology of the late twentieth century suggested — making a small portion of genuinely well-made ice cream a more nutritionally sound choice than a large portion of its industrially engineered alternative.
