Who needs Starbucks with this healthy copycat recipe?!

Hello there! Long time no speak, huh? 

I've been a little bit absent lately because our life has been like a bit of a rollercoaster. We've had the lowest of lows, the highest of highs and I should hopefully be telling you all about it soon (and then you'll understand my absense!) but I am back and planning on staying back.. and I've got the perfect recipe to kick things off.

You see, right now it's pumpkin spice season in the US and usually we're either counting down the days until a trip or exploring somewhere in the US - but with COVID, that's not going to happen.

Instead of moping about missing a vacation this year, I decided I'd bring pumpkin spice season to Sydney.... only with the weather warming up, I just wasn't feeling a latte.

So I grabbed some ingredients out of the freezer, whipped some cream and made myself my very own Healthy Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Recipe.

It's so simple to make but impressive enough to share with friends (who needs Starbucks!) and you can even tweak it to make it vegan or add a shot of coffee for an iced pumpkin spice latte.

So let me share the recipe with you! >>

Every single year around this time, I have a bit of a problem... 

You see, whilst we live in Australia that is slowly heading towards Spring, we have so many friends and family members in the US who are racing towards pumpkin spice season... oh wait, I mean fall 😉

Pumpkin spice isn't really a thing in Australia, but usually we're in the US around this time and it's hard to find anywhere without a pumpkin spice something. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice bagels, pumpkin spice peanut butter - even pumpkin spice M&M's. 

Sooooo, what's an Australian girl to do when she wants in on the pumpkin spice action? 

Why, make Pumpkin Spice Baked Donuts, of course.

Recipe: The Best Healthy Paleo Pumpkin Bread

It may be Spring in Australia, however, there's one thing about the cooler seasons that I love - the food. Whilst I anxiously await the arrival of Spring each year, food is the one redeemer of Autumn and Winter. 

This recipe may not be very seasonal, however, it's one I can't believe I haven't shared sooner!

In Autumn (Fall) and Winter, I make this with homemade pumpkin puree, however, in the other seasons I turn to my hoarded cans of pumpkin to ensure we don't have to miss out on the deliciousness. 

Yep, hoarded because canned pumpkin isn't a thing in Australia - and that's kind of a problem when you have an American husband who HAS to have pumpkin pie for both Thanksgiving and Christmas each year and pumpkins at that time are out of season and bleh (and don't even get me started on the price).

Whilst you can buy canned pumpkin some specialty stores, the list of where to buy canned pumpkin in Australia is SERIOUSLY small - and in Sydney it's also seriously expensive.

But luckily for you (because, recipes) - and for us (because, pumpkin) - we have friends all over the world who are more than happy to pick up a couple of cans of pumpkin for us when they travel as they know it's the perfect way to put a smile on their foodie friend's face.

Made with the last can of pumpkin in our pantry (clearly it's time for a trip back to the states - right?), this Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe is BEYONDDDDDDDD delicious. 

It's moist and just the right density so it doesn't crumble or break (think; banana bread texture!) and it's delicately spiced with cinnamon to make you fall in love with fall all over again. 

But enough yapping!
