Jen’s Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

It was a lovely cool day here in Ft. Worth, and it put me in a fall mood. I needed a pumpkin spice smoothie! I’m not calling it a pumpkin pie smoothie, because I don’t want a breakfast dessert, but this is filled with pumpkin, not just spice. It bangs out nearly a quarter of the daily produce goal, and it’s cheap and delicious, so I thought I’d share. Whole30 and Vegan. Hope you love it!

Serves 4 – 178 grams of produce per glass!

1 small can pumpkin (plain, not pie filling – I stick it in the fridge the night before)
2 frozen bananas, halved to help your blender
3 cups almond milk (unsweetened vanilla)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (sub apple pie spice, pie spice, or cinnamon – whatever you have)
pinch of salt

Blend and pour into 4 glasses.

Sweetener? You could put maple syrup or brown sugar out. 2 Tablespoons in the glass is full pie level, so the scaling is…
Boss level – none to minimum
Intermediate – a splash
Beginner – 2 splashes

My favorite knife. It’s a 7″ full tang Santoku. I chose the Ikon handle design, which is wonderfully ergonomic. I have spent hours on a produce sculpture before and my hand was just as comfy at the end. It’s worth the pennies.

My favorite cast iron skillet is a 12″ Lodge dual handle pan. Why, the long handles are too heavy to hold with a single hand when they’re loaded up. Since you’re using two hands anyway, you might as well get the ones that take up less space and stack so much better!

Same sheet pan with a cooling rack/roasting rack insert. Ooooo!

I get asked about my spice wall all the time. The magnetic tins on the wall are great for any spices or salt-free blends. Salt corrodes the tins, so anything with salt is in a glass jar on the counter underneath.
