This Pumpkin & Chia Breakfast Smoothie Recipe is perfect if you don’t want to have any carbs in the morning. Full of natural fibre and protein, this smoothie is made from pumpkin puree, chia seeds, plant-based milk and delicious pumpkin pie spice.
You’ll need to get a little bit organised to make this recipe as you’ll need to soak the chia seeds for about 12 hrs. The best thing is to do this in the evening – all you need to do is to measure out about 1 cup of plant based milk and one tablespoon of chia seeds. Stir it in a suitable container (I use a glass with a reusable plastic lid) and stick it in the fridge.
In the morning, you’ll just need to mix all the other ingredients in and you have a breakfast on the go!
You are welcome to use fresh pumpkin if you’ve just carved your Halloween pumpkin or use canned or preserved pumpkin. I’ve also used my own homemade pumpkin butter, but I’ve added only 1/2 cup and didn’t use any sweetener and used less pumpkin pie spice as there is sugar and the spice in the pumpkin butter already.
