September 06, 2025

Hi there healthy lovely people!

It’s that time of year again, the kids are about to have a break from school, football season is here, the days are getting shorter and colder, the leaves are turning colors and this can mean only one thing… IT’S PUMPKIN SEASON! YAY!
I know what you are thinking, “another pumpkin recipe?!” YES! Why not? I know all of you LOVE pumpkin, besides this recipe is a GREAT post workout meal!

Try the recipe below! I promise you, you will not be let down!

Ingredients
  • ½ cup pure pumpkin
  • ½ cup gluten free oats (Keep the smoothie raw by using oat groats)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup coconut milk or hazelnut milk
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I like Vegan Amazing meal)
  •  1 tablespoon chia seed
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla or a small piece of a vanilla bean pod (I prefer the pod)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • pinch good salt
  • vanilla stevia or Grade B maple syrup to taste
  • ice (from purified spring water)
    Instructions
    1. Place all ingredients except the ice in a high speed blender and puree until smooth – about 45 seconds.
    2. Add ice and continue pureeing until you reach desired consistency.
    Notes
    • If mixture is too thick, add ¼ – ½ cup of coconut water.
    • Want to lower the calories? Use hazelnut milk instead of coconut milk as suggested above:)
    • and of course…
    • Share this recipe on your social media outlets below….I LOVE THAT!
