Calling all fall lovers: The final boss of pumpkin recipes is here.

We've got big plans for this smoothie. Picture this: You wake up on a crisp fall morning, put on your slippers, take a luxurious good morning stretch, and quickly whip up this nourishing treat. You mozy out to your patio with this smoothie, blanket in tow. She's beauty, she's grace, she's… your new morning staple, none other than this Pumpkin Chai Smoothie.

And not only is this recipe a seasonal must-have, but it's a nutritious upgrade to boot! Enter pumpkin puree and flax seeds. Pumpkin touts necessary fiber and Vitamin A while flax seeds gift your body with omega-3 fatty acids. No tricks, only treats for your body in this one. :)

We're not one to turn down an indulgent craving, so neither should you! Help yourself to an extra serving and nestle into your cozy spot for a rewarding fall morning.
