Substitutions + Suggestions
- Frozen Pumpkin Puree — The best way to freeze the puree from canned pumpkin is in a silicone mold of choice. Divide the puree into tablespoons, about 2-3 tablespoons per mold. Freeze overnight.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice — this is our favorite Pumpkin Spice.
- Protein Powder: this is our favorite Organic Vegan Protein Powder. You can use your favorite, but I think that vanilla protein powder tastes the best in this recipe.
- Plant Based Milk: we like either unsweetened almond milk or soy milk, coconut milk is also a good option, but feel free to choose your favorite dairy-free milk of choice. You can also use raw milk or whole milk if not vegan.
Instructions
Add all of your smoothie ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, stirring occasionally to break up any lumps that may form.
Add mixture into your bowl and top with desired toppings!
