Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ½ cup pecans
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon GROUND chia seeds or ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- pinch cloves
- sweetener of choice to taste (maple syrup, stevia, monk fruit, agave and soaked dates all work well)
- ½ to 1 cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Make your own nondairy milk by adding the water and pecans to a blender and blending until mostly smooth. At this point, you can strain the mixture or leave the tiny bits of pecan in to add texture to the shake. I like to leave them in.
- Next add the pumpkin, chia seeds, spices and your choice of sweetener to the blender with the nondairy mixture. Blend until smooth, taste and add more sweetener if needed.
- Add ice and blend until it looks like a milkshake. Please note that if you do not have a powerful blender you may need to add the first ½ cup of ice and blend, then add more in ¼ cup increments until it’s as thick as your blender (or undertaker) will allow.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Make this nut-free: Substitute 1¾ cups of you favorite nut-free nondairy milk in place of the water and pecans.
