Oh, glorious pumpkin, offering vital antioxidants like lutein, xanthin, carotenes, and vitamin A. Blended in a smoothie with Sunwarrior Warrior Blend vanilla plant-based protein, pumpkin makes for a creamy, vegan, power-packed, energy sustaining liquid meal.
Nourishing and delicious—yes, please!
Gracious Living Lifestyle Pumpkin Power Smoothie
Ingredients:
2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened BPA-free canned pumpkin puree
1/2 red apple, cubed
1 serving Warrior Blend vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
Fresh ginger to taste
Dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice powder
2 to 3 cups unsweetened cashew milk
Handful of ice
Directions:
Blend till creamy and smooth. Sprinkle cinnamon, shredded unsweetened coconut, or shredded apple on top.
Pumpkin power!
Pumpkin Power Soup Variation:
Turn your Pumpkin Power Smoothie into a Pumpkin Power Soup instead with some slight alterations!
Use Sunwarrior natural protein powder (instead of the naturally sweetened vanilla protein powder mentioned above).
Omit the vanilla but keep everything else, including the apple, ginger, and pumpkin spice powder.
Add Celtic sea salt to your desired saltiness to turn this into a delicious vegan pumpkin soup! Perhaps add a clove of garlic for immune fighting, tasty pizzazz. Blend (without the ice). It’s that easy and so good! You can also enjoy it warmed up or chilled. Top with shredded, unsweetened coconut or shredded carrot. https://www.graciouslivingoasis.com/
