Even though it is unbearably hot here in SoCal, right now, I was feeling like getting into the Fall spirit with a little pumpkin shake. It was my first attempt at such a thing and it was a hit! There is no cow's milk in this shake, just soy. No, I'm not afraid that soy will give me cancer or give my son man-boobs. That is a myth. As long as it is organic, it is good for you!
This recipe makes 2 small smoothies, or 1 larger and 1 smaller (it made mommy and toddler shakes!)
What you need:
3/4 cup pumpkin
1 banana
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (soy)
1/2 cup soy milk
1 cup ice
I put everything BUT the ice in the blender first. That way, it doesn't get destroyed and melt while I'm blending. I have a powerful Vitamix blender, but if you have a less powerful one, you may need a little more liquid to get it going. Then once it is blending nicely, toss in your ice to cool it.
Enjoy!
Never thought of putting pumpkin into a shake. Sounds good to have for a snack since it's starting to warm up.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious and so good for you!
ReplyDeleteI should try this. I've been looking for ideas to use pumpkin puree in my freezer.
ReplyDeleteI might have to try this pumpkin shake later.
