A Vegan Spiced Pumpkin-Chocolate Smoothie

The concept of Halloween has changed over the years, the once simple pagan tradition has transformed into a "big business" venture for the sugar industry. In America, Halloween-themed candy, costumes and props account for up to $8 billion in revenue.
To help you kick start a sugar-free Halloween this year, the team at I Quit Sugar have created the ultimate Halloween drink: our Vegan Spiced Pumpkin-Chocolate Smoothie.
