I’m so excited for the holidays and have been obsessed with trying to find the perfect Thanksgiving recipes. On the menu…homemade pumpkin pie. I’m a horrible baker and this year I have an ambitious goal of making vegan pumpkin pie. I’m also going to make this delicious curried butternut squash soup as an appetizer and a superfood fall harvest salad with butternut squash, kale, and pomegranate seeds. YUM!
What’s cooking in your kitchen? Any delicious, recipes you care to share?
If you’re planning on baking some homemade pumpkin pie or any other pumpkin dishes, then grab an extra can of pumpkin puree or save the leftover for this recipe!
Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie
I call this the perfect breakfast smoothie for the morning after Thanksgiving when you feel bloated, stuffed and ready for a healthy breakfast before you hit the Black Friday Sales!
Health Benefits Of Pumpkin
First, the health benefits of pumpkin and why I include it in this smoothie. Fall’s signature squash (yes pumpkin is a squash lol) is versatile enough to fit into many of your Thanksgiving dishes and packs some powerful health perks — like keeping your heart, eyes, and waistline in tip-top shape.
Pumpkin is a fantastic source of fiber, with almost 3 grams per one cup, it will help keep you full and with only 49 calories per cup, you can eat guilt free.
Pumpkins are loaded with the powerful antioxidant beta-carotene, which may play a role in cancer prevention, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Now, time for the Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie recipe! Hope you enjoy!
