Fall is finally here, and with it comes the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte season. But if you’re like me and still experiencing 80-degree weather in October, a refreshing pumpkin smoothie might be a better way to enjoy those fall flavors. This protein-packed, creamy smoothie is not only delicious but also a nutritious way to start your day or satisfy your sweet tooth.
Made with a mix of healthy fats, protein, and a hint of carbs, this pumpkin smoothie is the perfect way to fuel your body. And with the addition of pumpkin, you even get some veggies in there too. Whether you have it for breakfast, as a post-workout snack, or as a guilt-free dessert, this smoothie is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
One of the great things about this smoothie is that it’s naturally gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free. You can use any type of milk you prefer, whether it’s raw milk, cashew milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. For a dairy-free option, there are plenty of good dairy-free yogurts available in stores, or you can even make your own coconut milk yogurt.
When it comes to the pumpkin, you can use homemade or canned pumpkin puree. Just make sure to avoid pumpkin pie filling, as it often contains added sugars and unhealthy ingredients. Stick to plain pumpkin puree for the best results in your smoothie.
To add some extra flavor and texture to your pumpkin smoothie, consider adding some toppings. You can sprinkle it with cinnamon, coconut sugar, or any other topping of your choice to give it that extra special touch. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
