When switching to a low-carb diet, most people avoid smoothies: They are full of sugar, aren't they?
You have to be careful not just with the sweeteners you use but also certain fruits. Those that follow a very low-carb diet can forget honey, bananas or dates.
I didn't want to give up smoothies — I like them too much and they're so quick to make when you have no time to cook. That's why I keep sharing these smoothie recipes that won't kick you out of ketosis.
I hope you enjoy this pumpkin recipe — just perfect for this time of year!

Ingredients (makes 1 smoothie)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Top with whipped cream or coconut cream and sprinkle with cinnamon. That's it!
- You can try using pumpkin juice instead of almond milk. You can get the juice that you get when making Pumpkin Purée. This will boost the pumpkin flavour and keep the net carbs low.
