Description

This delicious smoothie is the best of both worlds…pumpkin AND gingerbread! Try it topped with raw cookie dough for the ultimate treat.


Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Add the milk to your blender, starting with 1 cup, then add the rest of the ingredients. You may need to add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  2. Start blending on low then slowly increase speed. Blend until smooth and creamy. 
  3. Pour into a glass and top with the optional cookie dough crumble (see notes). Enjoy right away.

Notes

Cookie Dough Topping: Add 2 small, soft pitted dates, 1 tsp of molasses, 2 tbsp of oats and a pinch of cinnamon, ginger and sea salt to a blender and pulse a few times until it forms a dough. If you don’t want to blend it, just mash it all up in a bowl. Other yummy toppings are coconut bacon or crumbled cookie dough balls.

Banana-Free/Lower-Sugar-Option: Banana can be replaced with 1.25 cups frozen peach slices or you can use half a large banana and about 1/2 cup frozen peach slices.

Additions: Add 1-2 tbsp almond or peanut butter for an extra creamy treat. For more volume and nutrition, add up to 1 cup cooked, frozen cauliflower or raw or cooked frozen, peeled zucchini.
