Ingredients
- 2 cups brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice

Instructions
- Begin by brewing 2 cups of your favorite coffee. Once brewed, allow it to cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by placing the coffee in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice. Make sure to use a good quality pumpkin puree for the best flavor.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will help create a refreshing and frosty texture for your mocha.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Ensure that the mixture is well combined and that there are no lumps from the pumpkin puree or cocoa powder.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired. You can add a sweetener of your choice, such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute, blending again briefly to combine.
- Pour the Skinny Frozen Pumpkin Spice Mocha into two glasses. You can garnish with a sprinkle of additional pumpkin spice on top for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing fall-inspired drink!
Tips
- Coffee Matters: Use freshly brewed, high-quality coffee for the best flavor profile. Allow it to cool completely to prevent melting too many ice cubes.
- Milk Options: While the recipe calls for almond milk, feel free to experiment with other low-calorie milk alternatives like oat milk or skim milk.
- Spice It Up: For an extra flavor boost, try toasting your pumpkin spice blend briefly in a dry pan before adding it to the blender to enhance its aromatic qualities.
- Sweetness Control: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a zero-calorie sweetener or a small amount of stevia to keep it "skinny".
- Blending Technique: Blend on high speed and pause occasionally to scrape down the sides, ensuring a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Garnish Game: For an Instagram-worthy presentation, top with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick.
