It’s finally Fall! And, we’re looking forward to all the fun things fall has to offer. Here’s a list of some of our favorite ways to ring in the new season!

1. Apple Picking

There’s nothing better than fresh apples in the fall. We eat them for snacks, turn them into pies and pancakes, and more. And, what’s better than eating apples is picking them yourself. Grab your significant other or a group of friends, and be sure to take lots of pictures! Have fun and reap all the benefits an apple offers!

2. Baking

Fall is full of so many great tastes and smells. We love trying new recipes in the fall, but ones with less sugar to avoid a crash later. Not only do they still taste delicious, but these recipes also make the whole house smell warm and inviting. Here’s a recipe for one of our favorites: healthier pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

3. Going for a scenic walk or hike

We’re supposed to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day, but this makes it easy! Plan a walk or hike with some friends in a scenic area. The sight of autumn leaves will be stunning, and the smells of fall will release all the serotonin you need. Or, make it a solo walk and really take it all in. We love it both ways!

4. Pumpkin fun

You had to know this would be on the list– this is probably our favorite fall activity. There’s truly nothing better than spending the afternoon in a pumpkin patch, picking out the best ones to take home, and then carving them! We think it’s the best way to celebrate the season. And, don’t forget to save those pumpkin seeds for roasting!

5. Coffee dates

There’s something about grabbing a hot pumpkin-flavored coffee with a friend in the fall. It gives us all the best cozy feelings. So simple yet so fun! Just be sure to opt for sugar-free creamers and syrups when possible to avoid too much unnecessary sugar.
