PIN IT FOR LATER

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Yes, this fall we should eat lots of zucchini bread and pumpkin pie, but why not together in the form of a creamy, cinnamon-y pumpkin pie smoothie?

And down in Washington DC, where I live, fall months are often still warm so a chilly smoothie is most welcome on those unusually warm days. This smoothie is not just a celebration of fall spicy wonders, it is full of filling nutrition. The primary ingredients are cashew milk, mixed with spiralized zucchini and pumpkin puree.

How Healthy Is Pumpkin?

Pumpkin is endlessly fun and colorful, but it is so nutritious! Full of antioxidants, fiber and many vitamins, especially vitamin E, great for skin, and vitamin A and carotenoids, offering incredible eye protection.

Now, remember, pumpkin puree is a canned pumpkin that is not sweetened and has no other ingredients. It’s best to buy a quality organic brand to be sure you are getting a pure product.

How Healthy Is Zucchini?

Zucchini is another prime ingredient. I spiralized it for this smoothie to make it easy to disappear in the blender. Since zucchini is primarily water, it disappears quite nicely in a high-speed blender, leaving behind a smoothie full of vitamins.

What does this squash add? Zucchini is full of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese. It is also full of disease-fighting antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. This smoothie is much easier to make than zucchini bread or pumpkin pie,  just blend all ingredients and serve chilled.
