Pumpkin Spice Creamer and Smoothies

Happy Fall Monday! The girls are off today, and in celebration of this long weekend and not having to wake up at , I decided to make some homemade pumpkin drinks. WITH REAL PUMPKIN. The girls enjoyed a delicious pumpkin smoothie, based off the 100 Days of Real Food recipe. And the Mr. and I enjoyed a yummy pumpkin spice creamer, based off of the Against All Grain recipe. They are both VERY easy to make.

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
2 cups of raw spinach leaves
1/2 cup of vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup of pumpkin puree 
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 frozen banana
1/2 teaspoon vanilla, optional (we did not include)

Blend spinach with milk, pumpkin, and spice until smooth. Add banana and blend until no more banana chunks.


Pumpkin Spice Creamer
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a jar or bottle. Shake vigorously until well mixed. Pour desired amount into coffee. Refrigerate the remaining creamer for up to five days.
