EV’s Take: A Wonderfully Well-Spiced Addition to Breakfast
I’ve been on a world tour of all things pumpkin, from my dairy-free pumpkin pie cream cheese review to pumpkin spiced yogurt and now Nutpods dairy-free pumpkin spice creamer. I’ve tried a few other dairy-free pumpkin creamers, which I’ll add to the site soon. Currently, Nutpods’ limited edition pumpkin spice creamer leads the pack. It has a nice, light texture with a balanced spiced flavor. It’s unsweetened, so you won’t get that strange, overpowering sweetness that tends to occur with flavored creamers.
I enjoyed Nutpods’ Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer. I found it to be versatile with a nice flavor. A challenge I run into with flavored creamers is that they can taste very artificial with funky undertones, bad aftertastes, or an overpowering flavor that dominates whatever you add them to. That wasn’t the case with Nutpods! The pumpkin spice flavor was well-balanced, albeit a tiny bit bitter. I didn’t find that to be a deal-breaker. It worked beautifully in my iced coffee and overnight oats. I even frothed it up for a morning latte, which worked surprisingly well!
If you’re looking for an autumnal pumpkin spiced dairy-free creamer to add to your rotation this autumn, I strongly recommend Nutpods! I even bought other flavors to try in my coffee over the next few weeks.
Nutpods Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer Ingredients
I love a short ingredient list, and Nutpods delivers it! The creamer is a blend of coconut cream and almonds. They use additional stabilizers, thickeners, and emulsifiers like dipotassium phosphate, sunflower lecithin, and gellan gum.

How did EV use Nutpods Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer?
Iced Coffee
I add a few splashes to my afternoon iced coffee, and it’s delicious. Especially as the temperatures are in flux, this is a great way to enjoy the season’s flavors on a warm autumn afternoon.
Lattes
I steamed the pumpkin spice creamer with my espresso machine and was impressed with the results! The coconut gives it a slightly higher fat content per tablespoon. For context, Oatly’s full-fat oat milk delivers about .5 grams of fat compared to Nutpods’ 1 gram per tablespoon. The difference is negligible, but the fat does help the creamer froth quite nicely. I found the flavor to be even better when steamed. It made for such a cozy autumnal latte!
Overnight Oats
I paired Nutpods with Kite Hill’s Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese for the ultimate pumpkin-spiced overnight oats. Nutpods worked beautifully and intensified the pumpkin pie flavor of the oats. I’ve been eating them nonstop! Want to make them? The recipe is below.
