Anyone else feel that the coffee shop pumpkin spice lattes lack something this year, the taste is awful! So I decided to come up with my own version to satisfy the craving, and it is MUCH more nutritious and dairy free :) Add coffee and you have a latte, add ice and you have a smoothy!
in a blender, add 1 c soy milk, 1/2 c pumpkin puree, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 t brown sugar, 1 t cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of all spice. Blend until smooth. I put the mixture in a small pan and warmed on medium heat, mixing with a wisk to make it fluffy. SO delicious!
I also made muffins and cookies this weekend with pumpkin puree. This website has awesome recipes and directions for making your own pumpkin puree. The best part is you can freeze the puree and save for the cold winter months. Get your pumpkins now while they are in season!
