Pumpkin Pie Smoothie - Hold the pumpkin

This turned out so amazing! We drink it as a dessert smoothie, or even a bedtime smoothie on colder nights! 

Get out your juicer, and the following produce: 
Two apples, Four carrots, Two sweet potatoes, One lemon
A 1-2 inch peice of ginger root to taste.

You can also grab a banana and an avocado,  almond milk (I use unsweetened - you may prefer vanilla or sweetened), and cinnamon, and set aside. 

Peel sweet potatoes and cut up. Wash carrots, top and cut up. Wash and quarter the apples, peel the ginger and lemon.  Looks good! 




Run all that through the juicer, and clean up the juicer, and get out your blender. You can see about how much juice this made - not as much as I would make for 4 servings...but we're not done yet! 

Peel your banana and avocado, and cut them up into the blender. I use the wonderful citrus peeler on my avocados, so the shell comes off in four pieces if it's not too ripe. If it's too ripe, cut in half, twist apart, and scoop out the pulp with a spoon into the blender. 




Pour as much almond milk into the blender as you'd like - more for thinner, less for thicker smoothie, and give her a whirl. When well mixed, start slowly pouring in the juice. 






After you've added all the juice, add cinnamon into the mix - more or less to your taste. Pour, and enjoy this rich, cinnamon/ginger "pumpkin pie" flavored smoothie and just feel it being loved by every cell in your body! 

Let me know how you like it!
