{DAY 11} Clean Eating Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino


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:
  1. 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.
  2. Top with favorite toppings - I did whipped cream and additional pumpkin pie spice. 
  3. ENJOY!!!
