I needed a little pick-me-up this afternoon, and decided I would try my hand at making my own frappuccino. I usually drink frappuccinos in the summer, but this recipe is a perfect fall treat to help you feel refreshed and energized. I think it's just as good as the Starbucks version, but I'll let you be the judge of that one! :)
The past few months, I've really been trying to eat healthier, and eat clean. This recipe is just that (even though it doesn't taste like it!). I made this recipe up myself, so I really hope you enjoy it! Here's how to whip it up...
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 Tbs of organic blue agave syrup (may need a bit more to suit your taste buds)
- 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice (and a sprinkle for garnish)
- About 6 or 7 ice cubes
- Whipped cream for topping (if desired)
- Optional toppings: chopped pecans, caramel, or crushed graham cracker
Directions:
- In a blender, add the coffee, almond milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, agave, pumpkin pie spice, and ice cubes. Blend well until it is a smoothie-like consistency.
- Top with favorite toppings - I did whipped cream and additional pumpkin pie spice.
- ENJOY!!!
