Well it’s October and you know what that means…pumpkin spice everything. Sometimes I wonder how I lived my life before pumpkin spice was a thing. In fact, I don’t even remember really liking pumpkin until I started seeing pumpkin everywhere. Call it excessive advertising or a change in taste, either way I am a converted pumpkin spice fan.
After enjoying a few too many pumpkin spice latte’s these past few weeks I decided to switch it up and make my own version of a pumpkin spice smoothie with an added kick of chocolate (carob powder). Don’t worry there isn’t any chocolate in this recipe, but your taste buds will think there is!
So here you have it..pumpkin pie meets chocolate pie in a smoothie! Enjoy!
PS- Happy October!
