Smear yogurt in your cup or bowl and pour smoothie over it. Topped mine with a little granola, unsw coconut, and pumpkin seeds for my healthy fats. If omitting the toppings, add 1-2 T of nut butter, unsw coconut flakes, frozen coconut, or 1/2 avocado to your smoothie for fats.
Notes: I love fall and pumpkin everything so as a prep, I will freeze a can of pumpkin by breaking it into 1/4’s and freeze in baggies. Straight from the can works too but frozen will make a thicker, more creamy smoothie.
