The better news: You can have your pumpkin pie and drink it, too, with this nutritionally-loaded smoothie that tastes just like a Turkey Day dessert. To be clear, I’m not suggesting that you pass on the pie and be that person who brings a Vitamix to Thanksgiving dinner (my family would disown me), but instead, add this recipe to your repertoire no matter what the season. With this sweet smoothie, you can easily enjoy pumpkin’s many perks year-round. Now that’s something to be thankful for.
Serves 1
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 frozen banana
2 dates
1 small chunk fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Note: If you have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can use that instead of the spices listed above.
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
this sounds delicious, like a dessert!
