Pumpkin Smoothie
I've been seeing pumpkin recipes already popping up....so had the craving.
I made this for breakfast the past 2 mornings.
Pumpkin Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cups unsweetened almond milk
3/4 cup organic pumpkin puree
2 frozen banana
Approx 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon & nutmeg (could use pumpkin pie ice too)
(for a little more nutrient boost, the first morning I added 1c non-fat plain greek yogurt)
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you want it thinner, you could add more almond milk.
This morning I kept it thicker & it was like fro-yo!

Re: Pumpkin Smoothie
This sounds good. Most especially for a night snack. I always need something sweet after dinner.
Since I'm on a Flaxseed Milk kick, I am going to use that instead of the Almond.

Re: Pumpkin Smoothie
Ooo, flax milk? Never heard of it. How does it taste?
We have a yogurt place by us, that makes pumpkin pie frozen yogurt & this was just like it. So it was a nice breakfast after my workout, & definitely would be great for a dessert!

It's actually pretty good. It's pure white like milk; with a very, very mild nutty flavor. Not too much different of a flavor from Almond Milk just milder.
I saw it in my local Stop & Shop and wanted to give it a try. Needed a break from my Coconut Milk.

Re: Pumpkin Smoothie
I'm going to have to keep an eye out for it.
I used to put flax in everything, so I'd give it a try.

I still haven't use agave....but the maple might be a nice fall flavor, maybe even honey.
I honestly thought the banana was enough sweetness, but without being too "bananany".
