This simple, quick and easy vegan smoothie is ideal for warm evenings and a perfect way to pack more vegetables, fruits and nuts into your daily quota. Plus, it tastes amazing!! Unlike the other green smoothies, leafy vegetables are not added to this smoothie. If you wish you could throw a handful of spinach or kale leaves or any other leafy vegetable of your choice into your blender when you make this.

Importance of pumpkin is huge when it comes to fall, not just because we harvest a lot of pumpkins during the fall months but also because of the significant role it has to play on occasions like Halloween and thanksgiving. There are plenty of ways to cook the pumpkin after Halloween, but this nutritious and comfortingly delicious soup is my family’s favourite.
