"Christmas in a Cup"

Your welcome in advance. This Christmas drink is made of up pure raw, vegan, natural ingredients. The best part is, you probably already have most of the ingredients you need in your home. Forget the nasty chemicals.



What you will need:

  • Vanilla Chai Tea bag (I use the brand, Bigelow)
  • 1/3 cup of pure organic pumpkin
  • Nutmeg
  • Cinnamon
  • Ginger
  • Vanilla Extract 
  • 2 tbs Agave
  • 2/3 cup almond milk


Step 1: Brew your hot Vanilla Chai Tea.
Step 2: While your tea is warming up, mix 1/3 cup of pure organic pumpkin with nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla extract (all to taste).
Step 3: Pour your tea into a high powered blender (I use a Vitamix), adding your pumpkin/spice mixture, 2/3 cup almond milk, 2 tbs agave, and a dash more of cinnamon and vanilla extract if you please.
Step 4: Blend the ingredients together.
Step 5: Once everything is combined, if it needs a little bit more flavor add more agave or spices until it is as sweet as you want it.
Step 6: Pour it into a super rad Christmas mason jar and enjoy by a cozy fire.

(You can leave it hot, or like I did, you can pour it over ice.)

Trick of the day: If you own a Vitamix, to give this a creamier consistency, mix it on the "hot soup" option.



PS...stay tuned later this week I will show you a yummy coconut whipped cream recipe that will make the perfect topping for your "Christmas in a Cup."
