Pumpkin Smoothie with Salted Caramel

by Angela Simpson of Eat Spin Run Repeat

In addition to providing a generous 30 grams of plant-based protein, this fall smoothie has even more nutrition thanks to the whole food ingredients of flaxseed, chia seeds, Vega® Maca and cacao.

½ cup pumpkin puree
1 serving Salted Caramel Vega® Protein & Greens
1 frozen peeled banana
1 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp ground flaxseed

1 tsp Vega® Maca
¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
½ tsp cinnamon
4 ice cubes
Cacao nibs (optional)

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except for the ice in a blender and puree until almost smooth.
Add the ice and continue blending until completely crushed.
Pour into a class and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon and cacao nibs. Enjoy!
