Fall Smoothie Recipes You Need to Try

The thought of a fall smoothie; when the weather is chillier seems far-fetch. But should it be? Just like in the summer, when we toss seasonal fruits and vegetables into a blender to create delicious, healthy on the go smoothies – the process can be applied in the fall too. Simply swap out the peaches and mangoes with ingredients such as maple, pumpkin, and cinnamon. For an additional boost of energy try adding in a shot or more of caffeine from popular brewers such as Toby’s Estate and Bulletproof. Or make it vegan by using a milked nut beverage by Elmhurst. Tis’ the season for new smoothie blends and of course a slice or more of pie.
