Today, we drink pumpkin smoothies. Because it’s fall. And also 80 degrees in NYC and New Jersey. This recipe comes to us from trainer Kara, who is a genius for sneaking espresso into her smoothie. We’ll be making this until we get sick of pumpkin (hopefully never) because it’s decorative gourd season, motherf’ers.
