Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

November 20, 2015 by Michael Smith Leave a Comment

The more I try to eat with the seasons, the more sense it makes and the more I enjoy it. Spring is the time for fresh greens and young shoots, whereas fall meals should be hearty with warm roasted squash, potatoes, and winter greens like kale. In keeping with the seasons, I avoid drinking cold drinks in the winter. But I do enjoy starting my work days with an easy and filling smoothie, so I’ve found a way to keep things balanced with this delicious pumpkin pie smoothie.

Cold beverages, including water, interfere with digestion and put a damper on the digestive fire. I always drink my water and smoothies room temperature, but especially in the winter. This autumn smoothie combines warming pumpkin pie spices with homemade pumpkin puree. Don’t go an entire autumn season without this pumpkin pie smoothie, your body will thank you!
