I do realize the masses started on pumpkin spice madness practically in August, but I’m just beginning to feel a nip in the air and a hint at “real autumn,” so this week finally felt right to create a pumpkin spice latte smoothie. This one is thick and tangy, and kind of tastes like drinking pumpkin pie filling. Don’t leave out the molasses – it gives it the perfect touch. 🙂
Looking for some other healthy and easy breakfast options?
As the weather gets cooler (and already, I’ve been enjoying it!), I love warm breakfasts, like this “bulletproof” bone broth latte, and pretty much anything in an iron skillet. But if you’re looking for something that’s basically a no-prep breakfast, try these adaptable easy breakfast bowls! And I’m working on a whole collection of breakfasts for you, so if you’re a fan of breakfasts – any time of day – get ready!
A rich autumn-inspired smoothie that's filling and delicious. Dairy-free and Paleo-friendly.
