Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee

I can't lie and say I'm not on the Pumpkin Spice bandwagon. I love pumpkin, I love spice, I love fall and everything that comes with it.

 

What don't I like? Chemically laden pumpkin coffees that won't do anything good for you, except give you a marginal caffeine buzz.

 

So without further ado, I give you true, unadulterated Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee

 

Here are the ingredients for this simple treat that gives you a half serving of vegetables in an incredibly easy way! Don't worry, the recipe is on the bottom of this post!

 

Pure pumpkin, almond milk, pumpkin pie spices, vanilla and maple syrup get whirled up with an immersion blender. It creates a creamy base for your iced coffee.

Add your cooled coffee and blend, blend, blend.

 

Add your ice, a straw and enjoy your sipping experience. Finally a drink to feel good about!

* Marc said this wasn't enough for his sugar tooth, I like strong coffee but add more at your discretion if you like sweeter drinks.

 

Enjoy!
