On my way home I dropped by the local grocery store and picked up a pie pumpkin to experiment with. No better way to develop a new recipe or maybe two but to simply have fun in the kitchen.
A little thought, some exploring in my cupboards, using my trusty vitamix (high speed blender) I whipped up a green smoothie that hit the spot and satisfied my craving for one of my most favourite pies!
Here it is for you to enjoy too!
Pumpkin Pie in a Glass
2 handfuls of spinach
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp shelled hemp hearts
1 tbsp raw pepitas
1/4-1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend (if you don't have it then add nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves to taste)
2 medium medjool dates
1/4 cup raw pie pumpkin (softened but not cooked in warm water for 20 minutes)
Blend till smooth and enjoy!
Yummm, I think I'll have to make another one for my afternoon treat!
