Happy Halloween and Pumpkin Smoothie

By Thehungryartist @meliwai

I’ve been doing an ink sketch every day for the month of October and posting on Instagram.  This is the last one!  I’ll be doing a give away next month of some of my original sketches, so stay tuned…  See the Top 5 Favorites and which art tools I used here.

Here’s my Pumpkin Smoothie recipe– in keeping with the autumnal spirit of the day!

(I often freeze pumpkin puree in ice cube trays and remove and store in a ziploc bag for these…one cube equals 2 tablespoons of puree)

With some pumpkin granola sprinkled on top!

Pumpkin Smoothie

2-3 ice cubes

1/4 frozen banana 

2 tablespoons pumpkin puree

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

3/4 cup almond milk

dash of vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice

pinch of guar gum and xanthan gum if you want it extra creamy (optional)

  1. Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Makes one serving.
