If people can put oats into smoothies, why not quinoa? Why not indeed. The smoothie was super creamy and delicious, and it filled me up nicely. This is a great option for winter and autumn mornings when you want something sweet and sippable, but you don’t want anything cold, and you also want something a little more filling than fruit, greens, and the customary smoothie ad-ins. Green Apple, Pumpkin, and Quinoa Smoothie (vegan, gluten free, soy free) Makes 1-2 servings 1 1/2 cups pumpkin, sweet potato, or butternut squash puree 1/2 cup cooked quinoa 1 granny smith apple, cored and roughly chopped 2 tbsp hemp seeds( or other available seeds ) 1 3/4 – 2 cups almond milk (adjust based on whether you want the smoothie to be more like pudding, or a smoothie) Handful spinach (optional–the color won’t be nice, but the nutrition will be enhanced!) 1-2 pitted dates (also optional, but 1 is probably good to achieve the right level of sweetness) Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend on high till smooth and creamy!
