With flavors that resemble pumpkin cheesecake, this smoothie also contains an ‘ancient delight’ superfood mix, which can be easily purchased online or at most health-food stores. The superfood mix is simply a blend of various spices and seeds such as cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, chia seeds and flax seeds, all of which have been nutritionally regarded for promoting health. This superfood smoothie is full of nutrient dense foods, and is just what you need to give you that boost you need to get your morning started.

Serves 2

Here’s What You Need:

1 cup vanilla almond milk

1 frozen banana

2 tablespoons ‘ancient delight’ superfood mix (see substitutions below)

¼ teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon organic pure almond extract

2 tablespoons canned pumpkin

⅛ cup raw cashews

1 heaping tablespoon cannabis-infused coconut oil

2 tablespoons cream-cheese

Optional garnish: crushed graham crackers, dash of cinnamon, cinnamon stick, etc.

How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Smoothie

To begin, throw the cashews, frozen banana, almond milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, canned pumpkin, cream cheese and cannabis-infused coconut oil into a blender.

Turn the blender on and blend the ingredients on high until all of them come together and become smooth.

Next, add the ancient delight superfood, and blend on high until thoroughly incorporated.

If the ancient delight superfood mix is not available to you, you can easily substitute the flavors (but not all of the nutrition) with the following spices: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Blend until all the spices are mixed into the smoothie.

Depending on desired consistency, you may or may not need to add a few tablespoons of water or more almond milk. I like my smoothies on the thicker side, so I usually bypass this step, but if you have any issues with blending, this step may help.

Pour the pumpkin cheesecake smoothies into mason jars or glasses and serve with your choice of garnish! Some recommendations are a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, a dash of ground cinnamon, or even an entire cinnamon stick – the choice is yours!

Serve immediately and enjoy.
