This recipe was inspired by one of my patients. I always love learning healthy recipes and tips from my patients!

This smoothie recipe makes an ideal breakfast- packed full of blood sugar stabilizing protein, antioxidant rich pumpkin, seeds for essential micronutrients and fiber, anti-inflammatory spices.

Thanksgiving is in a few days, and this might be a good breakfast to start the day off right.

Ingredients

• 1/2 can organic pumpkin
• 1 banana
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I like hemp, rice or pea protein powders)
• 3-4 tbsp ground pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high for 1 minute. Enjoy!
