Pumpkin Protein Nice Cream (V & GF)
Today, I had my first PSL of the season (vegan of course) from a spot called Peet's Coffee here in LA.
I haven't had one in FOREVER. I rarely drink espresso or a latte of any kind for that matter (besides matcha or reishi creations).
However, I am a big pumpkin lover, and today felt like the perfect crisp fall afternoon to comfort myself with a warm bev.
Speaking of pumpkin, there seems to be a theme of pumpkin everyyyything this time of year, and not just warm delicacies.
Pumpkin ice cream, shakes, soft serve, milks, creamers, you name it.
And while those items are fun to have once in a while, there can be tons of extra sugars and ingredients we aren't aware of.
After a fun fall day outing, warm soup, or killer workout... a nice cold pumpkin refreshment is all you need and crave!
That's why I love my pumpkin nice cream recipe! It's super versatile, and leaves you feeling satisfied!
Now, there are several amazing "pumpkin pie smoothie/smoothie bowl" recipes out there using banana and pumpkin as the star players (which are all yummy)! But, I found that this hack of freezing coconut mylk ice cubes was a game changer!
Also, if you aren't in the mood for a super pumpkin pop of flavor, you can opt for a persimmon and cinnamon theme taste!
RECIPE:
You can obviously use this as a base and add in pumpkin pure, vanilla extract, dates, more persimmons, a nut or seed butter, etc! The options are endless!
I topped mine with coconut sunbutter, banana, pecans, and cinnamon!
Enjoy :)
