A creamy, tasty smoothie with all the flavours of fall.
A note from Chef Ivan:
It's cozy weather and the flavours of fall are here! You can make this pumpkin smoothie inspired by one my favourites Mexican recipes for this time of the year. You can have it cold or hot, and please try these cookies - they are so easy to make and so, so good. Enjoy and happy sweater season!
