Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

/

What to do when I'm hungry but out of food? I looked through my pantry and freezer and came up with this delicious concoction. I love adding Vitamin A rich pumpkin to anything and was thrilled when this combination of flavors hit the spot!

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

  • 6-8 oz unsweetened almond milk

  • 1/2 c organic pumpkin (canned)

  • 1/4 frozen banana

  • Stevia (to taste)

  • Cinnamon (to taste)

  • Pumpkin pie spice (lots!)

  • Optional: add a handful of leafy greens to boost the nutrient content.

DIRECTIONS

Put ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. If you don't have a frozen banana, use a fresh one and add ice (or pour smoothie over ice) as this tastes best when cold.

Mega Superfood Green Smoothie (Low in Sugar!)

I love smoothies.

They're a convenient way to consume a boat load of nutrients without making the body work too hard to absorb and digest them. Plus, they taste great! Unfortunately, not all smoothies are created equal which is why I typically don't drink smoothies unless I've made them myself.

A lot of smoothies you can order from restaurants and cafes are ridiculously high in sugar, either from too much fruit, fruit juice, or the addition of sherbet or frozen yogurt.

Last week I did a triathlon and instead of devouring the pizza, bagels, muffins and beer at the finish line, I opted to make this recovery smoothie when I got home. I just threw together whatever I had in my apartment and it turned out deee-licious so I wanted to share it with you.
