After making an incredibly delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte last week, I still had more pumpkin puree to make use of. So I was very grateful to come across this recipe. It is the perfect example of a healthy treat. It literally tastes like a smoothie version of pumpkin pie filling but every single ingredient is good for you. How can you say no to that!?
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Makes 1 small dessert sized smoothie (if you want it to be more of a meal I would recommend doubling the ingredients)
Ingredients:
- 2 iced cubes
- half a banana (frozen and cubed)
- 1 tablespoon oats
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon sweetener (I used Splenda)
Directions:
1. Blend iced cubes and frozen banana.
2. Once they are broken down add oats, pumpkin, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and sweetener.
3. Once thoroughly blended transfer to a small glass and eat up with a spoon.
I’m totally making this after my next run! Thanks for posting this.
You are more than welcome! Let me know what you think!
OMG.. I love all things that taste like pumpkin pie. You’re my new hero, lol.. this sounds awesome!!
Haha I am so glad! Let me know what you think!!
What kind of pumpkin puree did you use? Did you make the puree from scratch or pre-made? Thanks for sharing! Looks delicious
I just used 100% pure canned pumpkin (some canned pumpkin is a mix of pumpkin and squash and stuff so it’s best to get the 100% version). But I would love to make my own pumpkin puree one day. Let me know if you find a good homemade recipe cause I’d love to try it!
I am going to make this right now!!
