How to Make the Sacred Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Fall's most iconic drink is a cultural phenomenon, spawning everything from scented candles to breakfast cereals. When Starbucks first tested their Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2003, they couldn't have known they were creating a seasonal obsession that would define autumn for the next two decades. But with three pumps of their Pumpkin Spice Syrup packing a whopping 40 grams of sugar, this beloved beverage is more dessert than wellness elixir. What if you could capture those warm, spicy notes of fall while nourishing your body? Enter the Sacred Pumpkin Spice Smoothie.
When you add medicinal mushrooms, you’re reseting your body back to its natural balance. Mushrooms give you nourishing bioactive compounds that our bodies struggle to find elsewhere, and make this healthy pumpkin pie smoothie recipe taste even more delicious.
