Happy Fall friends! I am so excited to share this gem of a Pumpkin Spice Smoothie recipe with you because not only is it ridiculously easy and ridiculously yummy, but it is also dairy free and sugar free, which makes it a great drink or snack for vegans and those wanting to avoid refined sugar. This Pumpkin Spice smoothie is so easy to whip up with just a few ingredients, and it is a delicious way to enjoy the pumpkin spice goodness of fall without all the extra fat or calories that comes with baked goods. As you may remember, I am working with Blue Dragon this year, and this month’s challenge was to come up with a vegan recipe, and since I enjoyed the coconut milk smoothie that I created last month, I just couldn’t help but try another creation with Blue Dragon Coconut Milk and I know that you will love it as well!
This smoothie is a wonderful afternoon treat or it can double as a snack since coconut milk is quite filling. I like to keep cans of Blue Dragon Coconut Milk in our pantry so that we can whip up a delicious smoothie anytime. And at this time of year, it is also wise to stock a few cans of pure pumpkin in the pantry as well to take advantage of this delicious fall flavor!
- 1 can Blue Dragon Coconut Milk
- 2 heaping tablespoons of pure pumpkin {canned}
- 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- dash of salt {optional. Added as a flavor enhancer.}
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon if desired.
- Garnish: Cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie spice for sprinkling on top.
- 1. In blender jar, add 1 cup ice, 1 can of coconut milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon and mix until smooth.
- 2. Pour into 2 cups for two adult size servings, or 4 small cups for children. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, add a straw and serve.
This is such an easy recipe that it is perfect for busy families and easy enough for older kids to make on their own. It also makes a great quick breakfast as well. If you would like to lighten the calories, this recipe can also be made with light coconut milk as well.
