Today’s recipe is the perfect Autumn treat that should be really easier to digest. I can’t stretch to a gluten free, dairy free and easy to digest pumpkin latte (whipped cream+sugar=an unhappy gut) but this smoothie is perfect if you want it to feel more like Autumn! The banana and pumpkin are higher in soluble fibre, which means they’re easier to digest (more on tummy friendly veg here). Add some cinnamon for flavour and turmeric- which no anti-inflammatory recipe is ever without- and you’ve got a soothing, sweet drink to brighten your morning.
Since the outcome is quite a thick smoothie, you can also turn it into a smoothie bowl! Topped with fresh fruit and granola.
A note about tinned pumpkin- this can be tricky to get in the UK but I managed to buy it in bulk from Amazon. I have heard rumours that it’s available in Sainsbury’s but I’ve never managed to find it! They also have it in Wholefoods if you’re in London.
