Spiced PCOS Smoothie
Servings: 1
My spiced PCOS smoothie blends pumpkin, carrot and fresh ginger with almond milk, coconut cream, cinnamon and turmeric. It is whole-food with no added sugar and 9 grams of fiber, the kind of breakfast many women with PCOS look for.
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 4 ounce carrot cut into large pieces
- 1 tablespoon ginger root minced
- 1 cup almond milk
- ¾ cup coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon turmeric, ground
- pinch black pepper, ground
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk and coconut cream into a blender. Add the pumpkin, carrot, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and pepper.
- Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Sweetener Swaps: Sweeten to taste with a ripe banana, a date, maple syrup or honey; see more natural sweeteners. A frozen banana also makes it thicker and colder.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or 1 tablespoon nut butter.
- Blender Tip: Raw carrots are firm, so cut them small and blend a little longer if you're using a standard blender.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The coconut cream may firm up, so shake well before drinking.
