Freezy Vanilla Pumpkin Smoothie

October 15, 2020 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 1 Comment

My friend Michele the Trainer shared a wonderful pumpkin smoothie recipe with me that’s perfect for fall. She’s a Los Angeles-based Concierge Celebrity Fitness Trainer who lost 165 lbs and has kept it off since 1998 without drugs or surgery. Her philosophy is to eat plant-based healthy foods and, of course, stay active. Please make sure to visit her website www.michelethetrainer.com She’s also a published author, lifestyle coach, and motivational speaker. I can attest that she has boundless energy and is environmentally conscious.

Enjoy the Pumpkin Smoothie Recipe!

A note on this pumpkin smoothie from Michele:

I’m not a fan of living on ONLY vitamin pills or powder or powdered shakes….I’m a fan of real food that grows in real organic soil….I’m also a fan of pumpkin pie. LOL…so have a treat and enjoy.

The benefits of enjoying a pumpkin smoothie

Pumpkin is loaded with antioxidants and contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. Its high level of Vitamin A helps to maintain skin and mucous membranes. It also helps improve and maintain eye health and prevents macular degeneration. Low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, it’s often recommended by dietitians to control and reduce weight.

You may also enjoy recipes for apple cups with pumpkin and Pumpkin Soup with Apple and Bourbon.

Michele suggests using either Dale’s Raw Vanilla Protein, Arbonne’s Vegan Vanilla Protein, or Sun Warrior Raw Vanilla Protein in your pumpkin smoothie.

This recipe was originally posted in Oct 2012 and updated Oct 2020.
