A lot of people head to Starbucks when they want to enjoy a pumpkin flavored fall drink but if you don’t want to spend $5 on one drink, you might like to try making your own.

The following recipe is really simple to make and it boasts all that wonderful fall pumpkin flavor you can’t get enough of.

It’s a chilled drink which you can sip in the morning instead of your usual coffee or even take to the gym or work with you if you have a thermos to keep it cold. Along with pumpkin, this smoothie has yogurt, banana, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice.
You can use readymade pumpkin pie spice or make your own by combining 4 tablespoons of ground cinnamon with 4 teaspoons each of ginger and nutmeg, and 3 teaspoons of ground allspice. That should last you for a while!
