Autumn is upon us! This gluten-free smoothie is packed with protein, sprinkled with seasonal spices, and has just enough natural sugar from dates to make it delicious without spiking your blood sugar! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1-3 organic medjool pitted dates depending on preferred sweetness

  • 1/3 cup of organic pureed pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

  • 2 cups of grass-fed raw milk from your local farmer

  • 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
    1 scoop of unflavored collagen powder (optional)
    2 tablespoons of organic sprouted pumpkin seeds
    1/2 tablespoon of organic maca powder
    1/2 teaspoon of Redmond Real Salt
    Pinch of organic ground cinnamon
    A sprinkle of organic ground ginger
    A sprinkle of organic ground nutmeg
    1 head of a clove, removed from the bud and crushed by hand (or a tiny pinch of ground cloves)

  • Materials
  • Blender
    Teapot or a way to boil water on stove

Directions

  • Boil filtered water in a teapot or on the stove to soak the dates. While water is boiling, place the dates in a cup or mug. Once the water reaches temperature (I set my teapot to 200°F), pour it over the dates until it just covers them. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to blender.
  • Once dates have sat in the hot water for 5 minutes, drain the water in the sink, and add the dates to the blender (it’s okay if a little of the water ends up in the blender, too).
  • Blend and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you’d like the smoothie to be even sweeter, try adding in 1/4 to 1/2 of a frozen banana. Peel and break a banana into chunks the night before and place in a freezer safe bag to freeze overnight.
  • If you’d like to add coffee, make the coffee the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Remove one cup of milk from the recipe if you add a cup of coffee to make sure it’s not too much liquid.
  • Salt is so important because it brings out the flavor of sweetness in the smoothie.
