PUMPKIN PLEASURE SMOOTHIE RECIPE
This easy pumpkin pleasure smoothie recipe will have you begging for more with it’s unique blend of pumpkin, banana, and orange flavors; certain to fill you up without weighing you down!
Pumpkin isn’t only around in the fall, but when it’s in season, we like to sneak it in to everything, so use it in our Southwest Roasted Pumpkin Soupย or these delicious No-Bake Gluten-Free Vegan Chai Protein Pumpkin Barsย and use the leftovers to make this yummy smoothie.
Then turn it up another nutritional notch with Blendfresh Pre & Probiotics and Red or Orange Blendfresh (note: these ingredients are optional. If you don’t have, take a good probiotic with your smoothie!).
A good power blender will make this super smooth in under a minute, but you can make it in a regular blender as well — just use fresh banana and run the blender a bit longer.
