October is here!(!!!!) I love October so much — between the brisk cool weather, the spooky movie marathons, and of course, the food. I hope you’re ready for pumpkin-spiced everything because I’m baking and cooking up a storm.
If you’re looking to ease into October, this smoothie is for you. It’s simple and quick, and I would take one over a PSL any day.
This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie tastes like actual pumpkin pie, but it’s so refreshing and hydrating. The pumpkin purée and spinach blend provides tons of Vitamin A while tasting like a cool and creamy milkshake. Perfect if you live somewhere that it’s still warm!

Any other brides-to-be out there? I’ll share our wedding menu and tips on how I’m planning a wedding with gluten-free, plant-based food options. Let me know if there’s anything else you want to see before we tie the knot next September!
