Pumpkin Latte Smoothie
Stop for a cup of java at any coffee shop this time of year, and you'll find an inviting advertisement for the seasonal pumpkin latte. Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and even Seattle's Best have capitalized on this autumnal crowd favorite. It's the perfect sweet yet savory combination of delicious coffee and pumpkin pie. Comfort food at its best! But you'd be shocked to tally up the calories in such a latte! You'll have to spend an extended period of time on the treadmill for each one you devour! Most of the empty calories come from refined sugar, and each latte contains minimal nutrients if any. Luckily, we've come up with a nutrient-dense alternative to the traditional pumpkin latte!
