How to make a pumpkin peanut butter coffee smoothie
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a blender or smoothie cup. Pulse a few times or start on low, then increase speed to high and blend for at least 1 minute or until creamy and smooth.
Note: Blender and smoothie makers can have different instructions on loading ingredient types (example: My Vitamix blender recommends loading liquids first, then ending with frozen ingredients.) Read recommended instructions for loading your particular blender or smoothie maker for optimal performance and a smooth outcome.
Pour into serving glass and if desired, drizzle with extra peanut butter or dust with pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!
This healthy Halloween meal replacement smoothie is perfect for a busy night to sip in-between trick-or-treater door bell rings or even to take along for sipping on while taking your kid trick-or-treating.
I honestly enjoy this pumpkin smoothie year round! I just love the convivence of using canned pumpkin which contains lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to boost your immune system and more. There’s really nothing spooky about this delicious smoothie!
Enjoy!

What plant protein powder brand is the best to use for smoothies? I’ve tested lots of plant protein powders in smoothies and in my opinion for chocolate I prefer using Earth Chimp organic vegan protein shake mix and for vanilla I like Aloha organic protein powder the best. The flavor and texture of both of these brands are great!
