To celebrate the beginning of Autumn, this week we’ll take a fall favorite and use it in an easy to make and take-on-the-go staple. To make this smoothie, you’ll use classic ingredients like banana and almond milk, but the delicious additions of pumpkin and cinnamon will really spice this recipe up. Plus, it's vegan, clean, and free of artificial flavorings.
Feel free to add any supplements you like to give the smoothie more of a nutritional kick: chocolate protein powder, for example, blends fantastically with these fall flavors.
