The one annoying thing about holiday cooking is the leftover ingredients that always end up being tossed out a month later. You save the cranberries and extra pumpkin thinking, "oh maybe I'll use that," and never do! Well, I got a little creative and came up with this: Pumpkin Cranberry Smoothie. I wouldn't suggest it for breakfast, as I find it a bit too hearty for the A.M. This is a great way to incorporate those extra holiday ingredients with things you already have lying around. If you don’t have mint, no worries. Just cut it out!
THE STUFF
- 1 cup nonfat milk or unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup pumpkin
- ½ banana
- ¼ cup cranberries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch ground ginger
- pinch ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 4 mint leaves
- splash orange juice
