Pumpkin Gingerbread Smoothie
Description
This smoothie combines frozen banana and pumpkin puree with unsweetened vanilla almond milk in a blender, together with blackstrap molasses for molasses’ distinctive robust sweetness and a touch of acidity from apple cider vinegar. Ground or fresh ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla provide a classic gingerbread spice profile.
