Here’s smoothie to satisfy your pumpkin sweet tooth! This pumpkin banana smoothie is a great post-workout meal replacement and a perfect match for pumpkin aficionados. And who doesn’t love bananas? And so, a pumpkin and banana crème hybrid is born.
This is almost like indulging in a pumpkin and banana crème pie, but as a high protein smoothie, it’s a lot healthier! The smoothie itself is garnished with a couple pieces of fruity pumpkin seed cookie bar and topped with crushed cashews for good measure. Use raw, organic ingredients where possible.
