Despite the days becoming colder and darker, the joys of fall (such as my Pumpkin Spiced Smoothie!) make it easy for me to embrace this season. I am obviously not alone, as seasonal flavors such as cinnamon and pumpkin begin to appear everywhere well before Labor Day even arrives!
I love a treat, but since eating mindfully is important to me both personally and as a parent, I prefer to incorporate these warm seasonal flavors without all of the sugar or processed ingredients. To me, healthy, fresh food + delicious fall flavors = the best of both worlds!
To help spread some fall cheer in a healthy, mindful way, I am sharing the recipe for my favorite fall beverage – it does not include sugar or anything processed! I created this recipe with my children (who are my best taste testers) and we all love this fall treat.
Another reason to love this recipe is that it is both easy to make and versatile. It only takes a few minutes to prepare (my favorite type of recipe, especially in the morning!) As I share in the video, I prep the ingredients or purchase them already frozen and just keep them on hand so they are ready at a moment’s notice. We often have this for breakfast on busy mornings, but it also works well as a mid-day treat or an on-the-go lunch. I will also sometimes make a big batch and bring it to my classes to share – it is always a hit!
