We’re in the thick of pumpkin spice season! And at this point you’re either completely sick of it or on the pumpkin bandwagon. I’m the latter – completely and utterly still obsessed with pumpkin. And butternut squash. And cinnamon.  I love autumn. I really, truly do. And my dedicated Pinterest board is proof.

Fall favorites: Sparkling Apple Sangria, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Maple Roasted Butternut Squash, Cranberry Pumpkin Bread, Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.  (more)

This festive orange Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is the easiest to make. It’s creamy, with a hint of banana and pumpkin spice. If you have a sweet tooth, add more honey to your batch. Health nut? Use agave nectar (it’s sweeter than honey, so use less!) instead of honey and up the wheat germ. Enjoy!
