Pumpkin Smoothie (tastes like Pumpkin Pie!)
This Pumpkin Smoothie tastes remarkably like pumpkin pie, blending pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spices, sweet dates, optional hemp hearts, and almond milk for creamy body. Ice cubes give it a slushy texture, making the smoothie refreshing and flavorful. It’s an enjoyable way to consume pumpkin flavors with natural sweetness and mild nutty undertones from the hemp hearts, suitable for a snack or light breakfast.

- 5 ice 174 grams, large cubes
Instructions

Notes
- If substituting bananas for dates as sweetener, use frozen bananas and add maple syrup to enhance the pumpkin pie flavor.
- You may sweeten the smoothie using only maple syrup, adjusting the amount between 1 to 2 tablespoons to taste.
- Add additional ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, more slushy texture in your smoothie.
- Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but expect a thinner consistency.
