🎃Happy Halloween!🎃

Pumpkin: The Taste Of Fall

Pt. 3. Pumpkin Pie Smoothie



Before I was pregnant I LOVED having smoothies for breakfast. They’re so easy to make, and full of nutrition. I loved hiding spinach, chia seeds, collagen powder, and all the healthy stuff in them. Its a grab and go and I felt so full off of them.

When I got pregnant with Annie, that was the first thing to go. I could not stomach them at all. I remember the last one I had was a banana and peanut butter one. I was at work could barely stomach it. I literally held my nose to drink it, and then had to drink something after so I couldn’t still taste it after I unplugged my nose. It was that bad. Lol.

I’m finally getting back to my smoothies, and they’re still great for grab and gos. But also great for a snack, or for the babe. My picky husband even enjoys them! Which is a praise Jesus Hallelujah. He’s that picky. Haha.

With this recipe you can make a smoothie or if you have a bit more time, turn it into a bowl. I will list both options for you! Enjoy! 🎃🧡


Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup almond milk, coconut milk, or regular milk (add 1/4 cup if you want to drink it and not have a bowl)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 2 dates, pitted.
  • 1 tsp all spice. (If you don’t have all spice you can use cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger. 1/4 tsp each.)

Steps

  1. In a blender, place all the ingredients in the order listed and blend until smooth.
  2. (If you want a smoothie bowl continue.) Pour the smoothie into a bowl and place 1/2 banana sliced, 2 tbsp dried cranberries, 2 tbsp coconut flakes (unsweetened), and 2 tsbp chopped pecans.

Flash back to Halloween 2020 when Annie was one month old. 🥺 *peep her little fuzzy tail hanging over my hand. 🥰
