I love pumpkin recipes, don’t you? But depending where you are it may not feel much like fall until well into October. So, here’s one of the best smoothie flavor combinations ever created – pumpkin & chai spice…
This super recipe is from Candace at thewheatlesskitchen.com. She doesn’t go into huge detail on how these work in your body, but she does highlight a couple of interesting points. You’ll get some great new ideas here for your own smoothie recipes, and you’ll want to use this combo in more of them.
I love it – you probably will too! Check out the recipe below and let me know how you like it…
Here’s how Candace describes it….
This smoothie is perfect for breakfast or post-workout because it is packed full of protein that will keep you full for hours. I used Vega Team vanilla protein, but you can use your favorite protein powder. Just make sure it is a good quality brand that doesn’t have a bunch of weird added ingredients in it.
It is also has tons of vitamin A from the pumpkin, which is good for the skin and eyesight.
There are only a few ingredients, but LOTS of big flavor.
If you are not really a fan of chai spice, then feel free to use pumpkin spice, but I’m telling you, at least try the chai. I think you will love it.
