Berry Smoothie with Pumpkin Seed Flour
August 10, 2021
Pumpkin seed flour provides an excellent source of natural plant based protein, vitamins and minerals - perfect for adding to smoothies and anything else that would benefit from a nutrient boost. This gluten free and vegan smoothie is a great way to start your day providing slow release energy to keep you fuelled for the morning. You could also add any wholegrain, nuts or seeds to provide more fibre and thickness to your smoothie. We always keep a variety of frozen fruit at home so we are ready for a refreshing smoothie without having to add ice & dilute the flavour.
