Pumpkin Spice Smoothie for an On-the-Go Breakfast!
Our mornings are quite hectic now that school has started. My husband leaves a little after 6am, then two kids a little after 7, one at 7:30 and the last at 8:30. Which means breakfast can also be hectic. I like to prep as much as possible the night before, however that doesn’t always happen so I’ll make some delicious Pumpkin Spice Smoothies. It’s filled with oats, flax, pumpkin and cinnamon which are all beneficial to your health. It’s a great way for the kids to start the day, and I know that they are having something good for them. Plus this Pumpkin Spice Smoothie whips up in a matter of minutes so even on the days you may be running late, you’ll have time to enjoy breakfast.
