Squash Pumpkin Smoothie

by Laura

I really wanted to try one of your pumpkin smoothies. But alas... all I had to use was an acorn squash. I cooked it up to satisfy my curiosity of these smoothies flavored with pumpkin and spices. My sons and I enjoyed every sip of this smoothie. I was pretty amazed!

These smoothies are a great way to get my kids to drink their veggies. :) Anyways... Here is the recipe that I created with what I had. Enjoy!

Squash Pumpkin Smoothie

3/4 cup squash, cooked and chilled
2 tablespoons cashews
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp of each spice (nutmeg, ginger, and clove)
1 tsp stevia
3/4 cup water
8 ice cubes

First, blend the squash, cashews, spices, stevia, and water for 40 seconds. Then add the ice and blend for 40 more seconds. It made about 2 cups.

Thinking Outside of the Smoothie Box!

Thank you for sharing your smoothie recipe with us!

I am so glad that you were able to enjoy a "pumpkin" smoothie, even though it wasn't exactly made with pumpkin. After seeing your story, I had to go try this variation of a pumpkin smoothie.

It was extremely close to what a pumpkin smoothie tastes like. Pumpkin has a sweeter and fuller flavor. But they are quite similar.

Happy Blending!
