This creamy and flavorful Butternut Squash Pie Shake is the perfect combination of seasonal flavors and wholesome ingredients. Follow this detailed recipe to replicate it exactly as described.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup almond milk (preferably Sol Date Almond Milk or any almond milk of your choice)
• 1/2 butternut squash (boiled and peeled)
• 1 scoop Juice Plus Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon sea moss gel
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (optional, for sweetness)
• Ice (as desired, about 1/2 cup for a thicker shake)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the butternut squash:
• Begin by cutting a butternut squash in half. Remove the seeds and boil one-half in a pot of water until tender (approximately 15–20 minutes).
• Allow it to cool, then peel the skin off and set the cooked squash aside.
2. Set up your blender:
• Ensure your blender is clean and ready to use. Start by adding the almond milk as the base to help with blending.
3. Layer the ingredients into the blender:
• Add the boiled and peeled butternut squash to the almond milk.
• Scoop in the Juice Plus Vanilla Protein Powder.
• Sprinkle in the cinnamon and pour in the vanilla extract.
• Add 1 tablespoon of sea moss gel for its nutritional benefits.
• If desired, include 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar for extra sweetness.
• Top it off with ice (about 1/2 cup or adjust to your preference).
4. Blend the shake:
• Place the blender lid on securely.
• Blend the ingredients on high for 30–60 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Taste and adjust:
• Taste the shake and adjust sweetness or thickness if needed. You can add more ice for a thicker texture or additional almond milk to thin it out.
6. Serve and enjoy:
• Pour the Butternut Squash Pie Shake into a glass.
• Enjoy it immediately as a nutritious, flavorful treat!
Notes:
• This shake is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals from the butternut squash and sea moss.
• The coconut sugar can be omitted or replaced with another sweetener like raw honey or date syrup if desired.
• For an extra festive touch, garnish the shake with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
