Fall in Love with These Irresistible Vegan Pumpkin Recipes!

Oct 15th 2014

Autumn has found its way into our year once again. As the leaves begin to change and we fall into a stupor of spiced holiday scents, shorter days and chillier mornings there is generally one thing that we can all agree on – it is time for some serious comfort foods.

 

There's hardly anything better than curling up with a steaming, full bodied bowl of soup in the evening, or indulging in a deliciously creamy spiced smoothie before the morning rush!

 

We have combined some of the season’s most comforting foods and enhanced their quality with our signature superfood ingredients. These vegan friendly recipes are just what you need to kick off the fall season.

 
 


 

Spicy Pumpkin Soup

This rich, full-bodied pumpkin soup is inspired by traditional Thai flavors and infused with fall  aromatics, rich in flavor and smooth in texture. For added heat, use an additional garlic clove and a dash of red pepper flake.
