made at home: pumpkin flax green smoothie

Pumpkin Flax Green Smoothie

• 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree (I use 365 organics brand)
• 3 tablespoons of ground flax seed
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg 
• 1/4 cup of yogurt 
• 1/2 cup of milk/or non-dairy milk 
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• a giant handful of kale 
• a few ice cubes 

  In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend together until smooth. Add more ice cubes to make as thick as desired, or more milk to make less thick. Serve after combining. 

  I have always had a love affair with smoothie making; taking all of these delicious ingredients and blending them together for a drink on the go. I've always loved adding vegetables to these creations, because these leafy greens can be disguised so easily.   Since the Fall season is in full-force now, cans of pumpkin puree are always open in my apartment. I decided to use some of one in an afternoon smoothie and it turned out wonderful. I would highly suggest adding a bit of pumpkin to your next green smoothie for a touch of seasonal joy.
