Try my new shake recipe. In this one, not only do you get all the incredible nutrition from Formula 1, you get an added kick of beta carotene from the pumpkin, and extra metabolism boosters from the cinnamon and ginger!
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Tummy Trimmer Shake
2 scoops Formula 1 French Vanilla Shake
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, either fresh or canned [Note:promptly refrigerate any leftover pumpkin in a glass jar or plastic container. Don't leave it in the can!]
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cloves (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
ice (6 or 7 cubes, or crushed ice)
1/2 to 1 cup soy, rice, coconut, almond, low-fat or skim milk, or water [Note: each will bring its own personality to the smoothie, so feel free to experiment!]
Put all contents into your personal blender and blend until mixed. Pour into your shake glass & enjoy!
You may notice I give you the option to use half as much liquid with this smoothie. The first time, I tried it with a full cup, and it just wasn't thick enough to feel like pie. The second time, I used half a cup. Then the third time, a whole cup, so experiment to find the exact thickness you like. Half a cup will still give you its benefits, and you'll feel like you're cheating on your diet!
Happy Thanksgiving!
