Pumpkin Smoothie

Who says pumpkin ever goes out of season?! Even though Halloween has passed you can still take those pumpkins and bake/blend them into pumpkin puree. Using the pumpkin puree you can make this recipe…and many more!

 Pumpkin Smoothie

Serves 1

You will need:

• 1/4 cup of Pumpkin puree
• 1 Tbsp of Chia seeds
• 1/4 cup of Pecans (raw)
• 1 tsp of Cinnamon
• 1 cup of Almond milk
• 4 Dates  (pitted)
• 3 Ice cubes (if you like your smoothies slightly chilled, if not then keep the ice out)

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.  Watch for dates and nuts to make sure they get fully blended.  Serve and drink immediately!

You can also turn this into a smoothie bowl by adding granola, see picture below.
