Sarah’s Notes

Since Sarah has tested and approved this vegan pumpkin frappuccino recipe as one she would repeat, I’ve added it to the “Sarah’s Recipes” section. Here are her personal notes on the recipe:

I really like this! Nice balance of flavors, very pumpkin-y, and I like the sweetness from the dates. It is more slushy than smoothie, much like a frappuccino.

Finishing Tip: We respect that Megan was keeping this a low-sugar, breakfast-worthy beverage, but for a special Starbucks-like treat, you can top this pumpkin frappuccino with dairy-free CocoWhip!
