Enjoy the taste of this seasonally-inspired Pumpkin Pie Smoothie made with just 5 ingredients!
I’m in the process of moving (again) so I’ve made it a personal goal to use as many items in the pantry as possible so there isn’t as much to pack. Every little bit counts, right?! As of last Sunday, I had four cans of pumpkin puree. I like pumpkin….what else can I say? Except for pumpkin pie. Go figure.
So in between the packing, holiday preparations, a full-time job, blog upkeep, and other daily life activities, I’m drinking this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie to get in the Thanksgiving spirit. This smoothie comes together quickly with just 5 ingredients total.
I love adding Greek yogurt to smoothies for a source of protein and fat, which makes for a more satisfying smoothie. To sweeten the smoothie, I used apple cider—fitting for the season!
Canned pumpkin is a source of beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body, and also provides potassium, vitamin C, and copper.
