Spice up your morning with this creamy pumpkin pie smoothie!

Nothing says fall like the flavor of pumpkin pie. This recipe takes all the best parts of this decadent dessert and blends it into a smoothie for the perfect breakfast on the go.

Adding a few spoonfuls of pure pumpkin purée to your morning smoothie ups the nutritional value by adding a boost of fiber, antioxidants and vitamin A. These nutrients help you maintain a healthy immune system, protect your vision and fight free radical damage to cells.

A frozen banana adds natural sweetness and plenty of potassium to this healthy smoothie. And because the banana is frozen, there’s no need for ice. A dash of pumpkin pie spice is essential, but if you don’t have any, don’t worry. You can create your own blend by combining cinnamon, nutmeg, ground clove and ground ginger.

Combine the pumpkin, banana, and spices in a blender with a little almond milk until smooth and creamy. But don’t add a straw to that smoothie just yet! No pie is complete without a dollop of whipped cream on top. To make it, use a hand mixer to beat one can of coconut cream (thick portion only) along with a teaspoon of stevia or coconut sugar until fluffy. Add a dollop to your smoothie, and drink up!
