Yummy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Pin It Now!


















Here is a great smoothie that is very filling and ....mmmmm.....

I took about half of a small raw pumpkin and cut it in chunks, put it in the blender with some raw coconut water and young coconut meat, some ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves and a little raw wildflower honey. It was SO good! I think next time, though, I may use carrot juice and pulp instead of the coconut water and coconut--It will give it a more "orangey" color.

Pumpkin's color is a good indicator that it contains the anti-aging, disease-flighting alpha and beta-carotenes, which are converted to vitamin A. It also contains vitamins C and E, along with magnesium, potassium, pantothenic acid, and more. Of course, pumpkin's many health benefits are magnified tremendously when it is eaten raw.
