Kendall was out of cream cheese so she replaced it with yogurt and it was still extremely delicious! If you want a taste of Fall but it's still hot where you are, you should definitely give this drink a try. The best part is, it's pretty healthy!

| On top of the smoothie, Kendall dropped a dollap of coconut whipped cream. It is SO GOOD!! She also served it to me with pumpkin pie. The combo of coconut and pumpkin is absolutely amazing!! | ||||

Can I do this in a regular blender? If so would you make any changes? How long will the leftover coconut whip cream last in the fridge? Thanks so much! Jenny C.
Jenny C. you can definitely do this in a regular blender as long as it's up for making smoothies. :) It's REALLy good. Don't be afraid to add a little extra spice. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice you can add in some cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. That works as well.
Coconut milk usually lasts a few days to a week so I'd assume it would be the same for the coconut whipping cream. Whenever I've saved the coconut milk before, he starts to mold when it goes bad.
I was trying to find something healthy for breakfast the day after Holloween. So I made your smoothie. I was a little skeptical at first, but it is delicious. Wish I had the coconut whipped cream for the top. And my kids liked it too!
