You will need:

  • 500 g of pumpkin;
  • 1 banana;
  • 150 ml of yogurt;
  • 1 tbsp. l. honey;
  • 5 g of vanilla sugar.

Which pumpkin to choose

Butternut squash is a great choice for smoothies because of its soft texture, natural sweetness, and ease of blending with other ingredients. This squash has a rich flavor and creamy texture that is ideal for smoothies. It is also rich in nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, and fiber.

This recipe requires you to boil the pumpkin, but if you have more time, we recommend baking it in a baking dish under foil. About 40 minutes at 180ºC is enough, but it's best to rely on your oven. 

How to cook

Peel and dice 500 g of pumpkin. Boil it for 15–20 minutes until soft.

Add the boiled pumpkin, 1 banana, 150 ml of yogurt, 1 tbsp of honey, and 5 g of vanilla sugar to a blender. Blend until smooth. It's ready!
