Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

A sweet treat or breakfast on-the-go that delivers autumn flavors while boosting fiber and carotenoids.

Ingredients

½ cup plant-based milk (e.g., soy or almond milk)
1 banana, frozen in pieces
½ cup 100% pure canned pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
⅓ cup great northern beans, canned, rinsed and drained
Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), shredded coconut, chopped apple, blueberries

Directions

In a blender or food processor, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and great northern beans on high until smooth. May need to add additional milk if it's too thick after blending. Pour the smoothie into a bowl or cup. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Any white bean can be used. White beans are preferred for their softer skin and color when blending.
