Pumpkin Latte Smoothie

Okay, true confession time. I am not coffee drinker. I’m not sure how it happened, but I am a lover of tea. My husband, on the other hand is a hardcore, couple of cups a day coffee drinker. When the leaves start changing colour and the air feels crisp, he reaches for pumpkin flavoured coffee. So, today’s post is all about my husband. Isn’t it nice to make something that you know will make a loved one happy. This pumpkin latte smoothie combines our new found love for smoothies with the quintessential flavour of fall.
