Pumpkin pie smoothie

Tis the week before Thanksgiving break and as a teacher, life is CRAZY. Everyone is ready for a break. I created this smoothie to give you a taste of Thanksgiving break days to come. I hope you enjoy!  

Ingredients 

½ cup of almond milk
⅓ cup of pumpkin puree
1 frozen banana
⅛ cup of raw pecans
½ tsp of cinnamon
¼ tsp of pumpkin pie spice
4 ice cubes
1 tablespoon of cacao nibs
1 tablespoon of raw hemp seeds
Optional - a dollop of maple syrup (it doesn’t need it, but I know some like it sweet)
​
Directions
Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high!

To make ahead - Add the banana, pecans, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ice cubes, cacao nibs, hemp seeds to a bag and freeze the night before.  In the morning, add the contents of your smoothie pack along with the almond mile and pumpkin puree to the blender, blend on high and enjoy!
