Here we are – well into November with pumpkin season in full swing! Not sure if you know this about me, but love pumpkin! Pumpkin pie … pumpkin smoothies … you know a pumpkin freak. I’m generally a warm weather person, but I have a weakness for squash, sweet potatoes and actually all root vegetables which makes the cold winter months more bearable.
I’ve made other pumpkin smoothies, but this one is dairy free. I hope you enjoy!

Basil contains oils that have anti-inflammatory and anti-bactierial properties. It’s also packed with flavinoids. Not to mention all the other phytonutrients obtained from the strawberries, lemon juice, and peach. The yogurt offers as a source of probiotics and protein. This smoothie not only tastes great, but will help support a healthy immune system to keep you plugging away at the miles.
