Why Pumpkin?

Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of iron, vitamin K, potassium, copper, manganese and fibre.


Ingredients:

  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup canned pumpkin*

  • 1/3 cup Greek Yogurt, plain or vanilla

  • 1/3 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 - 1 cup milk or milk alternative

  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup

  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)


Directions:

  1. Blend and enjoy for breakfast or post-workout!


Do you have IBS? *use 1/3 cup pumpkin if you have difficulty digesting GOS or fructans


P.s. The longer you let the smoothie sit, the thicker it will become due to the fibre in the pumpkin and oats! So if you’re bringing your smoothie to work or the gym for later - bring a spoon just in case (or add more liquid).
