Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Blended Creme Frappucino yUmMiNeSs.
Fall is in the air so you have the green light to slurp mass quantities now.
It's even yummier when I don't have to fork out $3.85 for a grande.
I try different combinations every time...with whatever I have on-hand. I have used half & half (regular or fat free), vanilla yogurt, plain-'ole milk, or evaporated milk.
If you don't care how many calories you slurp in 2.0 seconds then go for the full-fat kind.
Or Guilt-free ingredients...
either way, still slurpy yumminess at its best. And really, it's good for you! Kid-approved--they love it for an after-school treat.
Here's the ingredients...add/subtract 'til you get it right for your taste buds. Sometime I do it with a banana...sometimes all pumpkin floats my boat. Sometimes splenda, sometimes brown sugar.
And always always always top off with a nicely-portioned dollop of whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
by the way, this yields, LOTS! A whole blender full to be exact.

I had one from Starbucks this past weekend, because its my fav drink of the year too! I'll have to try this recipe, because I lovey the pumpkin!
OH MY! I'm so grateful you posted this...I was just thinking today that I needed one of those. I'm off to buy ingredients!
Thanks for the recipe, I will be slurping one soon!
HI! I am Amy's friend Cristine. I'm glad to see your blog back in the public blogosphere. I love reading about the adventures of a mother of six. You are truly amazing!! Also, you have such a beautiful family. Don't mind my snooping, I'm harmless.
Yum! I love pumpkin desserts. I tell myself that there's a lot of fiber in pumpkin so it's good for me. ;)
Shayla! I'm so glad you found the recipe! Pretty sure my occupation right now is a BARISTA at Starbucks so yes I make these lovely Pumpkin spice drinks daily for the people of sun valley! Have you tried the Vivanno Orange Mango Banana Smoothie? It's pretty tasty and easy to make plus we add whey protein to it so it adds quite the nutritional value and being prego with twins I could always use the extra protein! And if you ever get the chance, try Starbucks' Pumpkin Loaf! IT IS TO DIE FOR!! If you found THAT recipe, I would be indebted to you!
I am a HUGE Starbucks junkie, but I have never tried this one, can't wait!!!
Well, with much anticipation we threw the ingredients into the blender, blended, and added ice slowly. Brooke LOVED it, but I decided that I don't like half and half. So, when we do it again we'll be sure to use vanilla ice cream or something instead. Thanks for the recipe.
Hailey was SO excited when I told her you had this recipe in your blog. We'll have to make it for family night!
Thanks for the fabulous weekend. I love you!!!
Had one last night.....not good, now I want one this morning!! Delicious!!
