Halloween is on it's way and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. If you are like me, smoothies are a big part of your life. I have at least one blender-bomb a day. I love smoothies because not only are they quick and easy but I can pack a ton of nutrition and flavor into one simple meal.

In honor of the fall season I am going to tell you how to make a delicious Holiday smoothie.

Two glasses of pumpkin smoothies with straws and pumpkins in the background.

Pumpkin Smoothie :

A whole pumpkin and a slice of pumpkin on a white background.

Evaporated, Condensed Milk: 1/2 Cup Vanilla Extract: a few drops to taste Canned Pumpkin: 1 Cup Frozen Peaches: 1 cup Flaxseed Oil or MCT oil: 1 Tbsp. Water: 1-2 Cups Protein Powder: 1-2 scoops (enough to equal 30-40 grams Cinnamon: A Dash (to taste)

Cinnamon sticks are sitting on top of a bowl of cinnamon powder.
A pitcher of coconut oil is sitting on a table next to coconuts.

Throw all of the ingredients in your favorite blender and mix, for 30 seconds.

That’s all there is to it.  A quick, nutrient dense meal fit for the holidays.

TAKU's NOTE: Like any good recipe this is just an idea. Start here and then keep tweaking the ingredients and the amounts until it's exactly the way you want it.
