This smoothie tastes like pumpkin pie in a cup, it’s easy to throw together, and oh so delicious! It’s especially great when you have extra pumpkin or squash puree to use up. Enjoy this on Thanksgiving morning or the day after before you head out to enjoy a day of shopping and fun. š
- 1 cup plain kefir (preferably homemade)
- 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin or butternut squash*
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, or to taste
- 2 Tablespoons chia seed gel
- 2 Tablespoons real maple syrup
- Stevia liquid, several drops to taste (optional)
- 1 cup ice
Add all ingredients except stevia and ice to blender; process until combined.
Taste and add stevia drops until desired level of sweetness is reached.
Blend in ice until broken up and drink is smooth. Serve immediately.
Serves 1 (large) or 2 (small).
*Note: Butternut squash tastes just like pumpkin, yet it is MUCH higher in Vitamin A.
