Pumpkin Spice Coffee Smoothie Starbucks Copycat
A creamy, caffeinated twist on the classic fall favorite
Welcome to the ultimate fall indulgence! This Pumpkin Spice Coffee Smoothie is a delightful homage to the beloved Starbucks seasonal favorite, reimagined as a refreshing, energizing smoothie. Inspired by the cozy flavors of autumn and the need for a quick, on-the-go breakfast, this recipe combines the rich, warm notes of pumpkin spice with the bold kick of coffee.
We use freshly brewed, chilled dark roast coffee for a robust flavor base. The coffee is paired with real pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt for creaminess, and a blend of warm spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. A touch of maple syrup adds natural sweetness, while a handful of ice ensures a perfectly frosty texture. This smoothie isn't just delicious; it's a nutritious way to start your day, packed with vitamins, protein, and that all-important caffeine boost.
