Pumpkin smoothie with Apple, Pear and warming Spices

There are about 800 pumpkin varieties! Small, large, all kinds of shapes and colors - for eating or just as decoration. What would autumn be without these magnificent vegetable fruits! Which of them fits best in a green-pumpkin smoothie - we have been looking for a long time... good things take time, we have finally found what we were looking for: nutmeg pumpkin.

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.
