Jamba Juice's fantastic seasonal creation blends a pumpkin spice base with frozen yogurt and soy milk. It's like drinking pumpkin pie through a straw! My home version is really yummy too with just the right amount of spice.

To complement pumpkin with sweet flavor pairings, consider using spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and vanilla, or sweet ingredients like chocolate, maple, honey, cranberries or brown sugar. Create savory dishes by pairing pumpkin with spices like chilies, cajun, cayenne or pepper.

What's the secret to a good smoothie? ›

Use a protein-rich liquid as a base such as dairy milk or soy milk. (Keep in mind that almond milk is low in protein). Include protein-rich ingredients such as yogurt, nut butter, walnuts, or even tofu. Protein is a nutrient that will make your smoothies satisfying, so you won't be raiding the cupboards an hour later.

No ice: If you don't have ice, you can use frozen fruit, oats, chia seeds, yogurt, or nuts and nut butter to thicken your smoothie. No frozen fruit: Add a scoop of raw oats or chia seeds into the blender instead. No yogurt: You can swap yogurt with nut butter to thicken a smoothie.

Unsweetened 100% fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies can only ever count as a maximum of 1 portion of your 5 A Day. For example, if you have 2 glasses of fruit juice and a smoothie in 1 day, that still only counts as 1 portion.

There are very few rules when it comes to how to make a smoothie. Just about any fruit works, so choose based on your favorite flavors, seasonality, and food intolerances or preferences. Remember this simple formula: Fruit + liquid such as dairy/dairy alternative + ice = easy smoothie recipe win.

According to new national recommendations, smoothies can count as no more than one of your 5-a-day – even if you've put 5 different fruit and veg in them. And if you have a glass of juice on the same day, you can't count them both.
