I had a can of pumpkin puree (leftover from Pumpkin Whoopie Pies) to use up, so I whipped up - or rather, blended - this simple smoothie for breakfast. Increase the honey (or other alternative sweetener) if you want a sweeter flavor. Throw in more pumpkin spice if you want it, well, spicier. Ingredients:
1 cup soymilk (plain or vanilla-flavored, low-fat if possible) |
3 tablespoons pumpkin puree |
1 banana, cut up and frozen |
1 tablespoon honey (or agave nectar but less because it's sweeter) |
1 tablespoon wheat germ |
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or mix of ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon) |
4 -5 medium ice cubes |
Directions:
1. Place a cut-up banana in a freezer-friendly container and store in the freezer overnight to freeze.
2. In the morning, add the soymilk, pumpkin puree, banana pieces, honey, wheat germ, spices and ice cubes to a blender. Blend until smooth and frothy. Serve.
