A Vegan Pumpkin Spice Frappucinno will give you a kick of caffeine and flavors of the fall season!
My family and I have been in a slow process of eliminating chemicals in our home. I know that’s probably totally hippy of me to say, but you wouldn’t believe the amount of chemicals we touch or ingest daily when you start searching. We’ve started with personal hygiene and soaps: hand soaps, laundry detergent, shampoos, make up, lotion. We’re now transitioning into disinfectants and surface cleaners, but we’ll save that for another day.
Making this transition has been easier than I thought. The only hard part for me is trying to process how something without that harsh smell and label that says, ‘kills 99.9% of bacteria’ will do the job. I just haven’t wrapped my head around that part yet. But, switching up our personal hygiene and soaps has been pretty easy!
I mean, who doesn’t like shopping for new makeup?! On a daily basis, I mainly use eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, chapstick, lotion and nail polish. I learned that you have to look for products that are free of parabens, phthalates, heavy metals, formaldehyde, artificial perfume, mineral oils and GM ingredients. Overwhelming, I know! But, you wouldn’t believe the number of excellent products out there that comply with this!
Think about it, you’re putting crazy harmful chemicals right on your face, eyes, and nails. Eww.
Do you have any favorite chemical-free products that you think I should try?
Basically, everything I just said has absolutely nothing to do with this frappuccino. But, maybe we can say, we like pampering ourselves with makeup…and frappuccinos? 😉
It’s a great little fall treat. And for those of you in the South like me, we’re having 80 degree weather this week! Perfect fall weather for a cool treat like this!
The frappuccino can be made non-vegan by just using whatever milk you have on hand. I had almond milk, so it turned into a vegan treat! But, any milk would be great in it. It’s so thick and creamy! Also, it’s a great way to use up any leftover canned pumpkin purée. Simply freeze the remaining purée and you’ll be ready to whip a Vegan Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino at any moment! 😀
