What You'll Need

  • 1/2 cup organic pumpkin puree
  • 1 small frozen organic banana
  • 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 8 oz. organic almond milk
  • 1 serving Pure Vanilla Superfood Protein

Pumpkin puree has even more potassium than bananas, but why not put both into your post-recovery workout smoothie? (Not to mention how delicious they are together!)Top this smoothie with toasted pumpkin seeds and you get the benefit of a plant-based iron source, along with the iron already in our Superfood Protein.

Directions

Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix on high until the banana chunks are well-blended into the pumpkin. Add more almond milk for a thinner consistency. Top with roasted pumpkin seeds for a little texture and an iron boost.
