Does the thought of drinking an icy cold smoothy on a July winter morning leave you shivering? Want a yummy healthy breakfast that can be whipped up in a few minutes? How about a warm smoothie with soothing sweet honey, cinnamon and ginger flavours? Then give this truly comfort food for a cold midweek morning a try. This delectable drink was made as I had some left-over pumpkin from the weekend’s pumpkin soufflé. Not a bad way to get rid of left-overs, I would say.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of pumpkin (steamed)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 tsp vanilla essence
