What to do with all that pumpkin puree in my fridge? Ah ha! Give it to the kids in a super healthy drink. Did it work? I'm tipping my imaginary hat as we speak! Hubby loved this drink too. Seriously though, drink your pumpkin - it's super yummy.
Ingredients:
-1 cup plain homemade pumpkin puree
-1 cup full fat coconut milk
-1 cup filtered water
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-2 tablespoons almond butter*
-3 tablespoons honey (maple syrup or coconut nectar + 5 drops of stevia).
-2 tablespoons carob powder
-2 tablespoons carob powder
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-3 ice cubes
-3 ice cubes
How To:
1. Add all ingredients to blender (high speed or otherwise)
2. Blend until smooth
Notes:
*AIP, omit almond butter - this is not permitted.
*I use these for ice cubes - I purchase at a store in town, but they can also be found online.

*I used carob in this recipe. I would just omit this completely if you don't like carob or want to sub with cacao, - if you add cacao it essentially becomes this smoothie - which is all good too...but this coconut pumpkin smoothie is so awesome without the overpowering taste of chocolate.

not sure how I missed this one...have to have it...NOW! maybe dessert tonight if I can muster the energy to messy another dish?!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you're a big pumpkin girl too. This is a very fun drink. And I'm giving you a high-five right now - I totally hear you with the dishes (sometimes I shed a little tear when I look at the disasters I make in the kitchen). Luckily my husband does them quite a bit, but he's super slow, where I can get them done in a flash (so we can watch that Netflix). Left to him we would be up until midnight. I like to give Scott a hard time about how s.l.o.w. and meticulous he is. But we make a perfect match and I wouldn't have it any other way! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great night.
Mike is the dish boy in our house...that's the rule, whoever cooks doesn't clean. I am grateful for that...even when a few of the hand-washed dishes has food remnants stuck on them!! Creating good food in the kitchen is never a clean endeavor...and even if i manage to clean up everything after myself along the way...feeding 5 bodies inevitably makes it messy again! Some days I just want to leave it, I REALLY hate doing dishes. But I REALLY hate the mess more!!
ReplyDeletebreakfast....delicious...I left the water out to make it thicker, cut w/ half Coconut Dream Milk, and added 2T chia seeds!
