The holidays are behind us but your waistline doesn't have to suffer. Enjoy all the flavors of pumpkin pie without all the guilt with my Pumpkin Spice Smoothie topped with homemade diary-free coconut whipped cream. Not only does it taste like pie in a glass, but it's packed with a protein punch too. Enjoy!

- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream
- 1 x 14oz can coconut milk, full fat and unsweetened

Whipped Cream Directions
