Immune Boosting Herbal Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
Ingredients
4 frozen bananas
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
2-4 Tbsp. maple syrup (For extra immune boosting properties you can substitute raw unfiltered honey, though I truly prefer the maple syrup flavor to complement pumpkin pie)
1-2 cups of coconut milk, to reach your desired consistency (you can substitute water or another non-dairy milk, but avoid using dairy milk as dairy causes the production of phlegm)
1 Tbsp. coconut oil (optional – I always add coconut oil in my smoothies to get more omega 3′s and fatty acids in my diet

1 tsp. fresh turmeric root (or ½ tsp. dried powdered)
1 tsp. cinnamon powder
