Pumpkin smoothie recipe: Musketeer

Unlike Hokkaido or butternut, Muscat squash doesn't taste like starchy mush when pureed raw, but resembles its relatives - melons. This pairs perfectly with pear and apple, as well as the sweeteners banana and Medjool date.
We also combine the subtle nutmeg pumpkin flavor with warming pumpkin pie spices: a little nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon and vanilla. In our opinion, the smoothie tasts best with a mild green base - e.g spinach or the winter salad Indian lettuce.

Spice tip: In general, spices can add variety to green smoothies - just try your favorite flavors. It's best to start with small amounts because a high-speed blender extracts all the aroma.
