Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
If you are a fan of Starbuck’s seasonal favorite, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, you are in luck. We made up our own caffeine-free version in the form of a smoothie and it is damn good. Did I just swear? It’s THAT good.
It includes two of my kid’s favorite things: maple syrup and the blender. The only mistake we made was that we only made one serving to share. (Don’t worry, I’ve included a recipe for 2 servings below)
My little guy is pretty sick right now but this ice cold (yet cozy) smoothie was a perfect way to brighten up his face. I think being allowed to watch movies all day helped as well. Now for the recipe…
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Recipe
Prep Time: 5 mins
Ingredients:
1/2 cup 100% pure canned pumpkin
1 cup lowfat milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
1 1/2 to 2 cups ice
Pour the first 4 ingredients in the blender, add 1/2 cup of ice and blend on high. Continue adding ice 1/2 cup at a time until ice is pureed and smoothie reaches desired consistency. Makes 2 irresistible servings.
This sounds amazing. I've been wanting a pumpkin spice latte for days, but have a cold and have been avoiding the caffeine. This is perfect and will make my throat feel so much better! Thanks!
Hmmm…. I wonder if it could make a creamer for coffee. : )
My daughter and I were just talking about making pumpkin pie milkshakes. I bet I could just sub ice cream for the milk and ice and have a milkshake. Yum!
Oh, and Phyllis–mix pumpkin butter and your choice of plain creamer (cream, half and half, milk, whatever) then pour that in your coffee. Amazing.
yum! I love all things pumpkin and am making this for breakfast tomorrow. I have loved your dedication to pumpkin.
hi marisa,
consider using pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and i think you've got yourself an ice-cream free milkshake. tastes just as dee-lish but a bit healthier. can't wait to hear how you like it!

hope you're feeling better, caroline!
I'm going to have to try this for my little Joleen!
[...] After we were done with that, we still had a lot of pumpkin left, so we tried the recipe for Pumpkin Spice Smoothie. [...]
