Pumpkin Time!
Well I’d a lovely pumpkin I got in my organic veg delivery and I’m gonna make some hearty wholesome veggie soup with it. But first I decided to whizz up a pumpkin smoothie for breakfast / brunch. 🎃🎃🎃
Pumkin Smoothie / Pumpkin Shake
I’m not generally a recipe follower I tend to go with what I’m in the mood for and what I’ve got. So I improvised. And you can too of course.
The basics were…
Ingredients
Fresh pumpkin flesh with seeds
Cashew nuts
Golden Flax seeds
Sesame seeds
Flaked almonds
Plant based milk
Maple syrup
Oats
Peanut butter
Half a banana
Frozen raspberries
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Splash of vanilla essence
Lets Shake this up Baby!!!
Do you like my fridge magnets? I do. 🙂 Let’s get this shaken up and work a little Halloween kitchen MAGIC. All you do is add the ingredients to a Nutri Bullet or Blender and start it up.
Improvise
All you really need for this is fresh pumpkin and a plant based milk. Then just add a mixture of nuts and seeds, handful of oats, spoonful of peanut butter and some cinnamon. I added nutmeg too and a bit of cayenne pepper. Add more Maple Syrup if you like it sweeter. You don’t need all the ingredients on this list. Also you could use canned Pumpkin if you don’t have fresh.
Pumpkin Seeds are good for you – Eat them
I added the Pumpkin Seeds in too as they are super good for you. (PS… Guys take heed… And eat this seed…. It’s especially super good for men.) I also threw in a few frozen raspberries. Cause I love them. I’d love to see more Raspberry flavoured things in the world. Strawberries seem to have the monopoly there….
Yummy!
And Viola! Behold a creamy Pumpkin Shake that will make you want to Twist and Shout. The Scooby Dooby Doo crew would be jealous… Smoothies can be Fun. Oh Yeah.
Sending Autumnal Greetings your way….

Yes it was nice and there’s so many amazing smoothies you can make. I’m making the most of my Pumpkin! 🙂 I took a photo of the nutribullet cup and the magnets were in the background. I like getting a magnet now when I visit a place. Magnets make fridges that little bit more exciting and give them a personality! 🙂

It’s a great way to use pumpkin flesh and pumpkin seeds. Throw it in a blender with some seasonal spice and other ingredients. There’s lots of recipes for pumpkin shakes and smoothies on the Internet. I kinda worked with what I had.
In America there’s a lot more pumpkin stuff!!! Easier to get pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree there. Not so much here. But there’s lots of lovely Pumpkin Spice lattes in the coffee shops. 🎃
Gosh never had a Pumpkin Beer! Wow. Someone got me pumpkin body and bath stuff from USA once and brought it back. It was amazing… Sweet like candy. I think it was from Bath and Body Works. L❤️ved it.

that does sound like a good smoothie; I just finished my green smoothie! Good song choice at the beginning – never heard of the last one, but it sounded pretty good.

I make green juices when I get organised. They’re soooooo good for you. 💚 I don’t think I could stretch to a green smoothie though. Your turn to share a smoothie recipe. Ha. Yeah I like both those songs. 😊

here is an older post I wrote about my green smoothie; I still use the same ingredients, but I’ve cut the bananas to two: https://jborden.com/2015/02/07/stuck-in-a-rut/
