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’ll have to pass this onto my friends who are obsessed with Starbucks pumpkin spice frapps!
My favorite thing about fall is hot chocolate, a nice hot cup of hot chocolate. Beside hot chocolate I love that pumpkin is everywhere, infact I am even more happy that you made a pumpkin frappuccino. This is something I am going to be trying soon, can I pin this onto pinterest?
There’s a red “Pin it” button just above where the comments begin. 🙂
Yes, always. I’m always honored if someone wants to pin something!
Thank you for allowing me to pin this.
The best thing about fall is all of the seasonal products! Why can’t there be seasonal products all year? They always seem to be the best! Pumpkin, peppermint, etc. I can’t get enough!
Ohhh I am trying this!!
The best thing about fall is jeans and sweaters. 🙂
The best thing about fall are pumpkins – no question!
Just had to run over here to tell you that I just finished it and it was delicious! 🙂
yummy! I love everything pumpkin! the best thing about fall are hayrides! yay! hayrides for pumpkins hayrides for apple picking! (:
So many things to love about fall… the change in weather (with lower electric bills!), beautiful fall foliage, daylight savings time (an extra hour to sleep, hooray!), and delicious fall-themed food with apples and pumpkin! Not to mention that it means winter and snowboarding season are that much closer… 🙂
OMG this looks AMAZING! I can’t wait to try! The best thing about fall without a doubt is pumpkin!!
I LOVE finding pumpkin spice hot drink recipes seeing as Starbucks puts condensed milk in theirs. I think it’d tooootally be worth it to get an espresso machine just to boycott Starbucks – $200 is nothing, am I right?! haha
haha. I know what you mean. Found out Starbucks used milk in theirs and haven’t gone since. I’ll just make my own.
Do you think this would also be tasty withOUT the coffee?
Haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not.
Wow!! I can’t wait to try this.
How did you get your whipped cream so perfect? (I am guessing it’s coconut based)
Soyatoo extra creamy.
I’ve never heard of that… Thank you!!!!
talking about pumpkins – last fall i baked your pumpkin chocolate brownie, once, then for a second time, then more and more times, because every time i baked it, it immediately disappeared. and now my friends are giving mi suggestions – you know.. ekhem.. pumpkin season…. this chocolate cake you brought.. remember? 😀
Oh wow! I don’t do coffee but I might have to make this for my husband! He’d love it!
My favorite thing about fall is as the weather cools off I can COOK again because my kitchen doesn’t get so hot as the afternoon sun hits it. Soups and stews and roasts and oh yum…I know, you’re a vegan, but, well, I’m not. 😉 But I don’t consume wheat or dairy so I LOVE your recipes!
🙂 I love boots and sweaters!!! 🙂 My mom loves pumpkin! I might have to make it for her…… 🙂
Haha, I don’ like coffee, so I may put cocoa powder in this too!
