Pumpkin Cheesecake Breakfast Smoothie
Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk (preferably original)
  • 1/2 cup chilled pumpkin puree
  • 1 small peeled and frozen well ripened banana*
  • 1/4 cup quick oats
  • 1 ounce cream cheese, regular or low-fat
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon crushed graham crackers or graham pie crust (optional)

Preparation

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender (except graham crackers if using).
  2. Cover and blend until well pureed then serve topped with crushed graham crackers if desired.

Cook’s Note

The banana is mostly what gives this smoothie it’s sweetness, so I recommend using one that is speckled (not mushy though).
