It’s National Coffee Day and we’re out of the house before 10:00 am on a Saturday for a full day of fun: a fall play date at Cantigny and then two back-to-back kiddo birthday parties.
This mama needs coffee. But this mama also needs breakfast.
In honor of the unequivocal arrival of fall (it’s not even 55 degrees out yet), I blended up a healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte smoothie this morning for a delicious blend of caffeine and protein to get me through the whole day.
With cold-brew coffee, no added sugar, a healthy heap of fall spices, and surprise hidden cauliflower, this might be your new go-to fall breakfast. And you’re saving the money and the calories without that Starbucks stop.
