I absolutely love pumpkin. Knowing that I can pick up organic canned pumpkin puree any time of year makes me so happy, but eating pumpkin in the fall (and around Thanksgiving) is especially a treat.

Adding pumpkin to your smoothies is a great way to get in additional fiber, low-glycemic carbs and antioxidants. Just be sure to pick up pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix (yes, they're different!).

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Serves 1

Ingredients:

2 cups (480 ml) almond or coconut milk
1⁄3 cup (81 g) pumpkin puree
1⁄2 frozen banana
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp (16 g) almond or cashew butter
1 tbsp (7 g) hemp seeds, plus extra for sprinkling
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Method:

Add the almond milk, pumpkin, banana, protein powder, almond butter, hemp seeds, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender.
Blend on high until they’re well combined.
Sprinkle with hemp seeds to garnish.
