PSL-Inspired Smoothie
It’s no secret: we love pumpkin spice EVERYTHING! When it comes to cooler weather and shorter days, there’s nothing quite like enjoying a warm pumpkin spice latte. But because it’s packed with artificial flavors and added sugar, the classic version is a tough sell for us.
Instead of starting your day with a kick of sugar to the pants, try a PSL Smoothie for longer-lasting energy and avoid that mid-morning sugar crash. We were inspired by a recipe from Deryn Macey of Running on Real Food, and we suggest substituting our Pumpkin Pandemonium Peanut Butter for the protein powder.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup milk or unsweetened nut milk of your choice
- 1-2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 serving plant-based vanilla protein powder*
- *Substitute for 1/4 cup Pumpkin Pandemonium Peanut Butter
- Optional:
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2-3 pitted dates or 1 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and puree until completely smooth, adding more liquid as needed to reach your preferred thickness.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
