Servings: 1

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp raw pecans plus more for sprinkling
- 1 cup almond milk
- ½ cup cauliflower frozen flourets
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree canned
- 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch ground cinnamon ground
- pinch nutmeg ground
- pinch sea salt, unrefined
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Place pecans, almond milk and cauliflower florets into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth.
- Pour into a glass, add any extra chopped pecans on top, and sprinkle a few more dashes of cinnamon and ground nutmeg.
Notes
- It's best to use unsweetened, non-dairy milk. If you are using a sweetened version, then cut the amount of maple syrup in half.
- Frozen cauliflower keeps this smoothie cold and creamy, and it’s great to portion into frozen meal prep smoothie packs for easy, grab-and-blend prep.
- If you want to turn your smoothie into a meal replacement drink then make sure to add a bit more liquid as the homemade protein powder will make it even thicker.
- Swap the maple syrup with other natural sweeteners of your choice.
