Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (Paleo, AIP, Vegan, Whole30)
Orange vegetables and fruits contain beta-carotene, a form of Vitamin A which gives them the orange color. It is great for our eyesight and for eliminating free radicals. Pumpkins are so versatile – they are great in soups and stews as well as in desserts! I have already posted a lot of pumpkin recipes before like Pumpkin Coconut Soup, Pumpkin Flan, Pumpkin Brownies etc.
