Servings: 2
Calories: 275kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 bananas quartered and frozen
- 6 cold brew frozen cubes frozen strong coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- fresh ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Make sure you have a peeled, quartered, frozen banana in the freezer. I always have them handy, frozen in quarters, for easy smoothie making.
- Prepare cold brew coffee ice cubes by pouring strong coffee into an ice cube tray. You can also freeze any strong coffee in cubes. If you prefer, use 3 ice cubes and 1 teaspoon of instant coffee- I have done this and it works great!
- Add the pumpkin, coconut milk and yogurt, and the Medjool date to a blender. Blend until the date is pureed. I use a Vitamix, which is helpful in making smoothie bowls extra thick, almost like soft serve ice cream. If you aren't using a high speed blender, it might be necessary to add 1/4 cup almond milk (I tested this in my standard blender), but the result will be less thick.
- Add the rest of the smoothie ingredients, and blend, using the tamper stick if necessary, until the ingredients are extra smooth.
- Add to a bowl, and top with pecans, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, or any other desired toppings. Chocolate covered espresso beans would be really great!
