I was looking at all the yummy recipes out there. I want to make a dairy free pumpkin smoothie for my dd on Thanksgiving. What ingredients do you put in yours? Thanks bunches!

[tarnalberry]

pumpkin, banana, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, milk sub (usually almond milk), and ice.

I have been frequenting some vegan sites due to my other food allergies...milk, eggs....besides my needs for gluten-free recipes. I found this the other day. I think it leaves room for alot of tweeking on your own, should you want to.

Pumpkin Pie Shake
vegan, serves 2-3

15 ounces organic canned pumpkin - 1 can (not pie mix)
*Farmer's Market brand of organic pumpkin really is my fave.
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup non-dairy milk, vanilla (soy or hemp preferred)
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup vegan chai tea concentrate
2 Tbsp soy milk creamer
2 dashes cinnamon
1 dash cayenne
2 dashes nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups ice (coconut water ice cubes approved for this pie shake)
optional: 1/2 frozen banana, pinch of flax seed oil/meal for added nutrition

Directions:

1. Add all your ingredients, except the ice, to the blender.

2. Blend on high until smooth. Yes the pumpkin will make this smoothie thick, so be patient while blending. If you need to add more 'milk' go ahead.

3. Keep blending and slowly add in the ice. Make sure it blends icy-smooth! Again, if you need to add a bit more liquid, do it gradually. You can always do a taste test before pouring and modify as needed to suit your own tastes. I added in a few extra cashews because I liked the body and flavor that they added.

4. Pour, sprinkle with cinnamon on top. Whipped rice cream-optional, but yummy.

Serve! Delicious any time of day. Dessert-friendly.

Pumpkin, spices, vodka, and brandy.

Maybe not for the little ones, but it would make the evening more fun for you.

Yours sounds like the one I was looking at except yours has vanilla and the others didn't. I will try it...Thanks! Some recipes have orange juice in it.

Very interesting...my dd loves cashews and has been drinking chai tea lately.
I might try your concoction on the next batch. I don't have the chai tea concentrate. Sounds like she might like it, she's 18. Thanks!

Oh well...it's close!

[jerseyangel]

Gosh, they all sound so good! I will probably try all of them eventually

Bananas do not agree with me at all do you think these smoothies would turn out ok without them.

I saw a recipe that had frozen/canned/fresh apricots. One recipe w/o banana. Another used frozen pineapple, yogurt and orange juice. Several used brown sugar. Another used ice cream. How about apples or peaches? I bought some big cans of pumpkin, so when I get a can opened I can experiment and freeze the rest in baggies so its ready to twirl.
They all sound yummy
