Pumpkin Spice Chia Smoothie


It’s all things pumpkin this week given that fall is upon us and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  This super smoothie is loaded with protein and tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass. It also has the added benefit of chia seeds which are high in omega-3 fatty acids and full of fibre.  Chia also expands up to ten times when mixed with liquid so will keep you feeling super full.


 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup almond milk (or your favorite milk)

1/2 banana

1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/4 cup greek yogurt           

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice             

6 ice cubes

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. 

Serves 1
