Pumpkin Smoothie

Pumpkin-Pie-Smoothie-Recipe.jpgWhether you use canned pumpkin puree or make your own, they both are rich in beta carotene (a powerful antioxidant).  This super easy recipe is healthy and festive.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 banana sliced
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (I use So Delicious brand – unsweetened)
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of raw agave nectar/honey or a few drops of stevia

Combine all ingredients and blend on high until it is smooth. Add ice if desired to thicken recipe and calm down the pumpkin flavor.  Makes 1 serving. Nutrition Note: This smoothie recipe contains mostly carbohydrates and is low in protein.  To balance it out, you can play around by adding a Tsp of nut butter or adding a protein powder.   My favorite protein powders are whey (but it contains dairy) and a mixture of hemp/rice/pea/chia protein.
