Hey Chicks,
It’s is post Thanksgiving and I have about 3 cans of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling but just pumpkin) leftover and I have been stuck on what to use it for. Since I am back on my smoothie kick, I was on the hunt for a delish recipe to incorporate it into my morning drink.
Here is a fab Pumpkin Pie Power Smoothie inspired by a version that I found online at Maoomba.com. I made a few changes to suit my tastes and get some more greens in too 🙂
Coconut milk ice cubes shaped like hearts of course 🙂
CHICK FEED: PUMPKIN PIE POWER SMOOTHIE RECIPE
- 6 ice cubes (I froze my coconut milk in ice cubes in advance
- 2/3 cup non dairy milk (I used 1/2 cup coconut and 1/2 cup water)
- 1 fistful of baby spinach
- 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
- 1 ripe banana (look for the spotty ones..they are extra sweet!)
- 1 Tbsp flax meal
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil (great source of healthy fats)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or allspice
Optional: Add in protein powder of your choice. If not adding protein powder, try adding hemp hearts or drink with your eggs at breakie for a good balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats.
Directions
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
A little weird color but TASTY! Plus I love using my new glass straw:)
So DELICIOUS…I will def get through my canned pumpkin !! If you have any other ideas for canned pumpkin- please share!
Have a fab day chicks!
