( Gluten Free ) Pumpkin Smoothie!

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Its warm during the day and cool at nights. Nature seems to be slowing down a bit, preparing for the long winter nights. I also love watching the leaves change colors, picking apples, and carving pumpkins. My kids are really into pumpkins and really, what's not to love ?

 Pumpkin are very nutritious and they make a wonderful base in a smoothie! I used my leftover pumpkin puree to make this smoothie.

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup of almond milk or coconut 

- 1/2 cup organic milk 

- 1/2 cup frozen fruits (pineapples/apples/pears/bananas) 

- 1/2  pumpkin purée

- 1 T grounded chia seeds

- 1/4 tsp cinnamon ( to taste ) 

- 1/4 tsp vanilla 

- Sprinkle of nutmeg

- Maple syrup to sweeten if you wish! 

1-2-3 Step:

To make the smoothie, add milk and ingredients to a blender. Drop in the frozen fruits and blend until you get the consistency you'd like! You can add more milk or yogurt as needed. You can sprinkle some nutmeg before serving! 

Voilà!
