Ingredients
For the Homemade Date Caramel
- 1 cup dates soaked in hot water for at least an hour
- cup Scant 1 filtered water just under
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 - 1 Tablespoon cornstarch depending on desired thickness
For the Smoothie Base
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree no added sugar!
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice OR 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
- 1 Tablespoon heaping almond butter
- Splash on non-dairy milk
Instructions
- First, add all of the date "caramel" ingredients to a high-speed blender, save the cornstarch
- Blend until completely smooth and pour into a small bowl
- Mix in the cornstarch by hand, 1/2 Tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached
- Don't worry about scraping the blender out completely! The remaining caramel will sweeten the smoothie nicely
- Add all of the smoothie ingredients into blender, and blend until smooth
- If it seems too think for your blender, add a splash more of milk. I, however, wanted a very thick "nice-cream" like texture
- Pour into bowl, top with desired goodies, finish with the caramel, and enjoy!
