GREEN PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE

This smoothie is a delicious way to get orange and green veggies in before you leave the house in the morning! It's mine and my toddler's favorite breakfast. I add whey protein to mine, and to his, a few teaspoons of coconut oil to up the healthy fats.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup coconut milk canned
• 1/4 cup water or almond milk
• 1 banana chopped and frozen
• 2 cups spinach
• 4 ice cubes
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• fresh nutmeg to taste
• 5 grams whey protein

INSTRUCTIONS

• Add yogurt, coconut milk, and almond milk or water to a blender. Then add spinach, ice, and frozen banana. I layer the ingredients liquids first, then spinach, then frozen pieces on top of the spinach to weigh it down, and this is the way it blends the easiest.
• Add spices and optional protein powder, and blend until the mixture is very smooth and the spinach is entirely broken up in the mixture.
• Serve with whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for a special treat.

NOTES

• I generally double this recipe and find that my blender does better with the larger amount, and my son and I share it. **To make a layered smoothie, keep the spinach out of the mixture. After blending, pour half of the smoothie into a cup, and then add the spinach to the half left in the blender and blend until very smooth.
