Instructions
Personally, I am a big fan of pumpkin – I love its taste, texture, and all the benefits I get from eating it. Pumpkins contain Vitamins A, B-6, C and E as well as iron, magnesium and phosphorus. They're also ideal for weight loss because they are low in calories, rich in dietary fiber and contain no fat or cholesterol.
Combine with some veggies like carrots and spinach and you'll have a glassful of thick, creamy goodness.
- Add the mashed cooked pumpkin, chopped carrots, baby spinach, nutmeg, cinnamon and almond milk to the Vitamix container.
- Blend until thick, smooth and creamy, then serve.
