Pumpkin Spice Soothie

Recipe First... because you'll be more likely to read my babble if you are sitting and drinking the smoothie you just made :)

PUMPKIN SPICE SMOOTHIE

Ingredients:
1/8 C Oats
1 TBSP Pumpkin Seeds
1 TBSP Sliced Almonds
1 TBSP Chia Seeds
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 large Banana
1 C Almond Milk

Directions:
Put in blender and push button!!!





Add ingredients to blender in order shown for best blending results. You can add more or less of any ingredient to give the taste or consistency. These are approximate measurements because I never measure anything. Make your smoothie your own. Don't be tied down to what I wrote here. But when I made mine this way, it really tasted just like fall.

We make Smoothies for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lately I have been making my smoothies "white". Maybe I can be the culinary pioneer and start the white smoothie trend. I find that they are really gentle on my tummy and very filling. On the night I took these pictures, we paired our smoothies with Avacado and Brown rice to make a quick dinner. We were playing "bomb shelter" and trying to use up what was left in the house to make a meal. Its amazing the creativity you can come up with when you are just trying to avoid a trip to the store.

Here's another "white" smoothie recipe. Just in case you fall in love with them like I did...
