    Don't like coffee nor are you are fan of hot chocolate? No problem!  Chill out in the comfort of your own home with this pumpkin spice drink. Totally vegan friendly and a great caffeine free beverage to drink any time of the day.

    drink with whipped topping

    If you are looking for some variation in the realm of hot beverages then this drink is what you need.

    It's super tasty, seasonal and great to cozy up to during the winter or fall.

    drink with cinnamon stick

    One of the best things about winter time has to be pumpkin spice drink. Whenever I "carb up" I always consume a surplus of various squash, oats and quinoa.

    Don't get me wrong I still eat my traditional Caribbean root vegetables, but I do enjoy eating the aforementioned a bit more merely because most of my supermarkets sell all of those items at a considerably low price.

    If you like eating pumpkin and squash throughout the calendar year, here is a tip, cut the pumpkin into cubes. place in a freezer bag and storage in the freezer.

    I like to buy the biggest pumpkin that I can find, chop it up and freeze so I can eat it, anytime at my leisure.

    As this drink recipe suggests, I am a huge lover of turning wholesome root vegetables into heart warming hot drinks.

    Do you remember my Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie? That velvety smooth drink went down a real treat some number of years ago. In fact I was petrified that I wouldn't be able to live up to those standards again.

    I think this spice infused drink recipe supersedes the sweet potato pie smoothie, why because it's a hot drink, it's that simple and nothing beats the warmth of a hot beverage on a ice cold winter day.

    Another one of my fall/winter warming beverages is this Vegan Orange Hot Chocolate .You will thank me for proving you with these vegan style drinks to cosy up to your book with during the evenings.

    • Allow to simmer for 5 minutes occasionally stirring
    • Finally add your condensed milk (or sweetener of your choice) to taste.

    Notes and tips

    • The topping is optional but to achieve these results you will need vegan style whipping cream to hand.
    • This recipe contains no coffee, however feel free to add a splash of coffee if you wish.
    • It's best to use a neutral tasting milk like Almond Milk   or Cashew Milk so this doesn't compromise the taste of the pumpkin.
    •  For a creamy smooth sweet taste be sure to use my Vegan Condensed Coconut Milk recipe.
    • Feel free to use butternut squash if you can't get hold of fresh pumpkin.

      I love the flavours of root vegetables and squash, so having them in a warm drink sounds wonderful. Easy to make, and enjoy; and full of goodness and warmth. Such a great idea, perfect for these bitterly cold days in January.

      My Mom had a huge crop of pumpkins and squash this past fall. This would be a great thing to try, getting tired of breads!
