Jack-o’-lanterns aren’t just for carving. They’re for eating too! I don’t know about you, but I love pumpkin season. It’s that time of year where it’s pumpkin everything—pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and pumpkin pie smoothies. Yep, you read that right…pumpkin pie smoothies. Here in Texas, fall is pretty warm until November. So a cold pumpkin pie smoothie on hot fall day gets me in the holiday spirit.
Besides the wonderful taste pumpkin has, nutritionally, it gives you a reason to eat or drink it even more. Pumpkins’ orange color means they’re loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is one of the plant carotenoids converted to Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy, glowing skin, strong eyesight, and our immune system. Pumpkins are also high in vitamin C. With cold season around the corner, this is just the protection we need.
This pumpkin pie smoothie will bring that fall feeling with every sip you take. so break out the blender and mix one up this season!
