Yes, a pumpkin smoothie. And before you say, "Pumpkin smoothie? That's good?", I assure you it's creamy, sweet, and perfect for fueling up before exercise.
Ingredients (for 2 glasses):
-
200g of cooked pumpkin (steamed or baked).
-
1 ripe banana.
-
1 glass of plant-based milk (oat or almond).
-
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
-
1 teaspoon of honey (optional).
-
A handful of nuts.
Preparation:
-
Blend everything in your blender (or bicycle blender).
-
Serve in a glass and add a little more cinnamon on top.
The great thing about this smoothie is that it combines healthy carbohydrates (pumpkin, banana) with good fats (nuts), making it the perfect fuel before a bike ride or run. And the cinnamon… it gives it that autumnal touch that smells like home.
