How to make a healthy pumpkin pie smoothie

It’s all about the ingredients. We’ve carefully blended ingredients that are both tasty AND good for you to ensure your smoothie is nutrient dense. Let’s take a look at some of the potential benefits:

• Nervous System Support: The smoothie includes ingredients like pumpkin and walnuts, rich in nutrients such as magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for a healthy nervous system.
• Balanced Fats: Avocado and coconut milk provide a delicious blend of healthy fats, promoting satiety and supporting your overall health.
• No Refined Sugars: This recipe relies on natural sweetness from dates and pumpkin, making it free from refined sugars.

Do I Have to Use Avocado? That Sounds Gross

We’ve added avocado (a paleo staple) to our pumpkin pie smoothie. The sweetness of the dates help neutralize the flavor, while the avocado brings healthy fats and creaminess to the smoothie. If you cannot bear the thought of adding avocado, you can swap for 1-2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil or your favorite nut butter.

Do I Have To Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk?

Absolutely! That is where the rich, creamy, deliciousness is coming from. Use canned coconut milk and be sure to shake well to combine the cream and the liquid.
