Pumpkin Spice Vanilla Latte Smoothie

        Copyright Denise Kappa Photography


OCTOBER  Every coffee and donut shop is now serving pumpkin drinks.  Did you know these drinks seldom contain any real pumpkin, just flavorings and spice.  


On this warm October day, I whipped up a real pumpkin smoothie and wow, was it delicious!  Creamy and thick, like a pumpkin pie milk shake only better.  Tons of vitamin A, fiber, protein, potassium and calcium.  


1 Cup Vanilla Soy or Almond Milk
1 Frozen Banana
1 Scoop Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder
1 TBL Ground Flaxseed
1 Cup Cold Brewed Coffee
1/2 Cup Canned Pumpkin
1/4 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon 
Large Handful of Ice Cubes

Blend thoroughly and enjoy.  I drink this all by myself, but it does make enough for two large servings.
