This is what happens when Summer meets Fall:
Hellooooo Fall.
Yes, Fall is fast approaching, meaning it’s once again time for comfy boots and sweaters, crisp and juicy apples, tangerine leaves that get lost in the whistling breeze…
And pumpkin.
Lots and lots of pumpkin.
What better way to welcome Fall than with a homemade Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino?
You don’t even need to leave your pajamas!
Pumpkin Pie Frappuccinos
(makes 2 large servings)
Inspired by my Healthy Starbucks Frappuccino Recipe.
- 2 cups milk of choice (480g)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp instant coffee granules (decaf or regular)
- scant 1/16 tsp salt
- stevia extract to taste, or 3 tbsp sugar (or other sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (120g)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)
Mix the ingredients together in 1 or 2 shallow plastic containers. Freeze. (You could also use an ice cube tray.) Once frozen, pop the blocks out of the containers. Thaw until just soft enough for your blender to be able to handle it, and blend until desired slushiness is reached. Add extra sweetener if needed, but do NOT add ice! It will dilute the flavor. Pour into two glasses and enjoy. Note: the flavor and texture will obviously vary depending on your choice of milk. I’m sure many types of milk will yield a good result, but I’ve only tried the recipe with Silk almond milk.
Fill in the blank: The best thing about Fall is _____________.
Pumpkin season? Apple season? Butternut squash? My favorite part of Fall is probably the cooler weather it brings. Goodbye 100-degree days!

I have been following your Pinterest for a while now- I pin EVERYTHING!! Most recently the pumpkin mocha thingy. Mmmmm!
I can’t wait to try this! I just got home from the store and happen to have bought several cans of pumpkin. I’m going to try it with coconut milk and add ing extra coconut. I’m also making a batch withy FAVORITE milk… Dark chocolate almond. I’ll let you know how it goes!!
LOVE your site!! I’ve pinned the healthy peanut butter pie; banana pancakes for one and and banana butter; peanut butter cookies; peanut butter eggs—do you see a peanut butter theme going on here??? THANKS!!
Just pinned your pumpkin frap. Can’t wait to try it. Love, love your blog!!
I repinned the 15 banana recipes, because they all looked so yummy! All the recipes I have made of yours have come out DELICIOUS. The black bean brownies (I added some walnuts) came out great, but would’ve come out better if I had a food processor. The peanut butter cookies for one – YUM! They are prefect when you want hot out of the oven cookies and little mess. Thank you so much – you are inspiring.
Katie-
I absolutely LOVE your blog- literally, most of my pins are from you. Thank you so much for sharing all your ideas!!
Just pinned the peanut butter cup oatmeal this morning! I can’t believe you are giving away a food processor- great idea! I went out and bought a cheap one, just to make a few f your recipes!
Thanks again Katie 🙂

Thanks for this post. As a million other people, I love PSL and all things pumpkin. I had to give this a try. That is why i repinned it on pinterest. thanks 🙂
Oooh, this looks so yummy! I guess I have to admit that the best thing about fall is the homemade food. 🙂 I might have to make this some chilly evening in the near future.
Would love if you could make a pumpkin chocolate chip pancake!! I love pumpkin and chocolate this time of year!
