Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Author: Pamela

Ingredients

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree preferably fresh, but if store-bought, look for tetra-paks or BPA-free cans
  • 1 ripe banana peeled, cut into pieces and frozen
  • a handful of ice
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla protein powder such as Sun Warrior
  • ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice*
  • ½ - ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • extra sweetener if needed: 1-2 pitted dates, pure maple syrup to taste or a couple drops of stevia
  • other delicious and healthful add-ins: a handful of frozen or cold steamed cauliflower; 1 Tablespoon flax or hemp seed, 1 Tablespoon almond butter or raw cashew butter, spoonful of lucuma powder, spoonful of coconut butter

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy. Taste for sweetness and consistency and adjust if desired. Enjoy as is or top with a dusting of ground cinnamon and shredded, unsweetened coconut.

Notes

I am crazy about Oaktown Spice Pumpkin Pie Spice right now, but you can make your own blend combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Cardamom is nice, too.
