Gluten-Free Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Power Smoothie

Hello Loves,

I have a confession to make...I'm craving pumpkin. Anything pumpkin, actually! Haha! Yesterday, I posted a video on gluten-free pumpkin spice scones and today, I'm going to share a recipe with you for a super yum gluten-free chocolate pumpkin pie power smoothie.

If you don't like pumpkin, I apologize in advance, because the closer it gets to Thanksgiving, the more pumpkin I'm going to eat and share with you here on my blog! I used to hate pumpkin, but now I love it. Isn't it weird how your taste buds change as you get older? I'm 25 years old and I can honestly say that I eat more things now that I used to despise as a child. For example: eggplant (oh...i'm addicted), squash, zucchini, pumpkin, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and the list goes on and on.

Anyways, this afternoon I decided to make a chocolatey power version of Whole Food's Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. If you like chocolate and pumpkin...then this decadent smoothie will rock your taste buds!!! :)
