In full swing of Autumn 2013, Starbucks delves into their "seasonal menu". My favorite is autumn. Everything pumpkin!
Truth be told, I don't like to eat pumpkin pie, but everything else I like... for example Starbucks' Pumpkin Spiced Latte. It's not overly sweet and a hint of the pumpkin spice that gives it a perfect kick.
Today, I wanted to try something more snack-y.... Starbucks' Pumpkin Loaf

What helped me pick this particular loaf was its density, jam pack ingredients and "somewhat" healthier choice (pine nuts, raisins, walnuts).

Of course, with items that look that this, I can't help but check out their chart, nutrition chart of course:.

The stats, like most stats in the Starbucks' variety, isn't always the best choice for. But I knew it had to be better than getting anything with chocolate chips and/or caramel drizzle. ;p
I bought this in the morning, so it was a nice and fresh.
This compared to the lemon poppy seed loaf, the pumpkin kicks its butt! Mind you, all the poppy seed loaves I've tried at Starbucks have been extremely dry -very hard to eat. But this pumpkin loaf is a real winner in the snack department.
Good one! I hope you would make this a "regular" on the menu!!!
