Light Pumpkin Smoothie


It’s pumpkin season! I’ve used pumpkin in a lot of ways, sweet and savory, but making it into a smoothie was a great treat. It definitely tasted like a smoothie; fresh, thick, fruity and sweet without being over-the-top. The pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice gave it a really fun Fall twist. This smoothie is filling, and it's a great way to get some fruit and dairy in your day. I look forward to having this again, hope you like it as well. That's what's on my table tonight.














 Pumpkin Smoothie Recipe:

Serves 1
Total Time: 3-5 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsweetened Almond Breeze almond milk
  • 1/4-1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, plain (I used 2 extra tablespoons to make the smoothie thicker)
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (optional: 1/2 teaspoon of substitute sugar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons Chia seeds (optional)
  • handful of ice

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth or desired consistency.

Note: To match the Autumn season I decided to add whipped cream and some colorful sprinkles. Enjoy!
