When we’re hit with fall temperatures, my smoothie consumption usually begins to drop, while my comfort food intake rises. Instead of giving into my cravings, I have decided to preempt them with dessert inspired recipes. The first one is fitting for the fall season with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon. Oh yes, it is here—The Edgy Veg Pumpkin Pie Smoothie! Yummers!
Pumpkin Spice has become much more than a simple spice blend perfect for holiday pie- it’s a pop culture flavor phenomenon. These days we are pumpkin spicing everything in sight, from coffee to cookies, right to candles and marshmallows. To keep up with this trend, I have spent some time pumpkin spicing some items of my own. Like this delicious pumpkin pie smoothie, so decadent you could skip regular pumpkin pie all together. Not that you need or would want to… #desserts4lyfe
This thick and creamy smoothie is a delicious start to your day as breakfast, but is just sweetened enough to bring it into dessert territory. This smoothie is packed with protein thanks to Tao Nutrition, is rich in beta-carotene, and insanely high in fiber. Dessert for breakfast? …Now that’s my kind of meal!
