Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
This tasty, aromatic and healthy smoothie is an easy trade for a pumpkin muffin or scone for breakfast. This nutritious recipe will fill you up all morning. I add in frozen cauliflower for extra fiber because it’s easily disguised without compromising flavor; however, you can easily omit it and add a few tablespoons of pumpkin puree and decrease the water.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup frozen cauliflower flowerets or rice
- 1/2 cup frozen mango
- 1/2 medium fresh banana
- 2 tablespoons flax
- 2 teaspoons nut butter
- 3/4 cup cashew milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice (see recipe below)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
Using a Ninja smoothie Maker
- Put all ingredients in the container and select the smoothie setting (blends for 50 seconds). After the first time you process it, check how thick it is, scrape sides and add water (or milk) as needed. Blend again on high speed to fully incorporate all ingredients.
Other Blenders (High Speed Recommended)
- Put all ingredients into the container and blend until smooth. Check the consistency, scrape sides as needed. Add a little water (or milk), as necessary, and pulse until incorporated.
Final step: Garnish
- Pour into a large glass or to-go container. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg (optional).
Notes
This smoothie can be on the thick side so add in extra water if needed.
