It’s great anytime of the day or year, but particularly wonderful right now when fresh pumpkins are readily available. Don’t forget to keep your seeds to make delicious roasted spicy pumpkin seeds. Finally a healthy alternative to a pumpkin spice latte!

Ingredients

1 sugar pumpkin, or ½ cup canned pumpkin

8 ounces coconut milk (make it at home, or buy some in a BPA free can)

4 ounces chilled almond milk

Two scoops Daily Vanilla Shake (or one Vanilla Cleanse Shake Packet)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground dried ginger

½ teaspoon ground allspice

pinch of ground clove

pinch of sea salt

1 date, pitted

2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar

Directions

(Skip this step if using canned pumpkin)

To make pumpkin puree:

Slice the pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Place the two halves face down in a baking dish and add ¼ inch water. Bake at 350°F until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the pumpkin’s size. Once the pumpkin is cool, scoop the flesh into a blender. Pulse until the pulp is smooth. Set aside ½ cup of the puree for your shake. Put the remaining puree in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to five days.

Place all the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. This will take about 45 seconds.
