Oh, glorious pumpkin, offering vital antioxidants like lutein, xanthin, carotenes, and vitamin A. Blended in a smoothie with Sunwarrior Warrior Blend vanilla plant-based protein, pumpkin makes for a creamy, vegan, power-packed, energy sustaining liquid meal. Nourishing and delicious—yes, please!
Gracious Living Lifestyle Pumpkin Power Smoothie

- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened BPA-free canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 red apple, cubed
- 1 serving Warrior Blend vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- Fresh ginger to taste

Pumpkin Power Soup Variation:
Turn your Pumpkin Power Smoothie into a Pumpkin Power Soup instead with some slight alterations!
- Use Sunwarrior unflavored protein powder (instead of the naturally sweetened vanilla protein powder mentioned above).
- Omit the vanilla but keep everything else, including the apple, ginger, and pumpkin spice powder.
- Add Celtic sea salt to your desired saltiness to turn this into a delicious vegan pumpkin soup!
- Perhaps add a clove of garlic for immune fighting, tasty pizzazz.
- Blend without the ice.
It’s that easy and so good! You can also enjoy it warmed up or chilled. Top with shredded, unsweetened coconut or shredded carrot.
