Yes, even though October is over I’m still going strong with my pumpkin addiction and will be for a while. (Don’t even get me started on pumpkin butter – oy). I partly blame this pumpkin pie green smoothie. Can’t stop, won’t stop. This smoothie comes together in 5 minutes, using 1 blender, and requires just 6 ingredients. And guess what? It tastes like pumpkin pie! You know, without all the crust and coconut whipped cream. But still… The ingredients are SO simple you likely have them in your pantry right now. Pumpkin purée is blended with frozen, ripe banana, almond + coconut milk, pumpkin pie spice and spinach! Two things are optional: A greens powder and protein powder (listed below). Seeing as I’ve just posted a Vegan Protein Powder Review, I suggest two of my favorites for this smoothie. However, protein is optional! The addition just makes it more of a meal than a snack. I think you guys are going to LOVE this smoothie! It’s: CreamyColdPumpkinyPerfectly sweetHealthyRefreshing& Insanely delicious I couldn’t believe how delicious this smoothie was at first sip. It makes the perfect fall breakfast, post-workout recovery, or afternoon snack. If you aren’t into pumpkin, try it with Cinnamon-Sugar Apples, Matcha, or Mango instead!
