Pumpkin Pecan Smoothie

Comforting and wholesome

Pumpkin Pecan Smoothie Recipe
Makes 1 serving. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2-3 Tbs canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup pecan halves
  • Maple syrup or agave to taste
  • Dash of pumpkin pie spice
  • Dash of cinnamon

Don't have time to make a Pumpkin Pecan pie, but still want to savor the taste of pumpkin + pecan goodness? Whip up a glass of this Pumpkin Pecan smoothie and you can have it now! I like to use soy milk for this recipe, because I have found that sometimes almond or hemp mylk can conflict with the nutty flavor from the pecans - but feel free to experiment!

Great morning smoothie!

  • 1/2 cup prepared coffee
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 Tbs agave nectar

Instructions:
  1. Toss all ingredients in blender.
  2. Blend, serve and enjoy.

For this drink, I used a unsweetened Almond Breeze original almond milk and agave as sweetener. The coffee must be room temperature or cooler for this recipe otherwise you'll get a lukewarm smoothie! Adding a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract is recommended.
