I’m on raw, vegan fire!! Another Gracious Living recipe just out in a popular North American Cross-Fit magazine SweatRXmag.
This recipe was a huge hit last month at my Muskoka & Cape Breton Yoga Detox Retreats….time to power up on your Vitamin A!
Gracious Living Pumpkin Chai Power Smoothie
It’s true, you can make a pumpkin smoothie without cooking the pumpkin! Delicious, creamy, nutrient dense, filled with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals making it a fantastic smoothie for all warriors.
1 cup raw pumpkin cut into small pieces
2 frozen bananas
1 cup cashews (or almonds)
2 tbsp hemp seeds
natural sweetener to taste
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp green cardomom seeds
pinch ground cloves
2 or more cups water to desired consistency
1 cup ice
Blend until smooth. Top with sprinkled cinnamon. Delicious!
