Pumpkin and orange smoothies will be delicious with any pumpkin variety or variety. But if you take butternut squash (which resembles a guitar in shape), then the drink will turn out to be the richest and will have a pronounced taste.
Cut off the rough skin from a large piece of pumpkin, clean well the place of attachment of fibers and seeds. You need to get 300 grams of peeled pumpkin.
Cut the pumpkin into medium cubes.
Next, the pumpkin cubes need to be boiled in water until soft or steamed. If you cook pumpkin in a double boiler, then you can save more nutrients. By boiling pumpkin in water, some of the vitamins will go into the water, which will have to be drained.
In a double boiler, the pumpkin will cook for no more than 15 minutes.
Cool the finished boiled pumpkin at room temperature.
While the pumpkin is cooling, peel the oranges and peel the white fiber film from the pulp. This is the most time-consuming part of making a pumpkin and orange smoothie, but the finished drink will not taste bitter.
Tip: Before peeling the orange, grate the zest, and all the white coarse part can be removed and discarded. You don't need a zest for making a smoothie, but you can freeze it, and then use it to make aromatic pastries, sauces and creams.
Transfer the cooled pumpkin pieces to a blender and puree until a smooth liquid mass is obtained.
Add peeled orange slices and a spoonful of honey.
You can add more or less honey, depending on your taste. Those who follow the figure can completely exclude this product or, in case of allergies, replace it with any sweetener.
Continue to puree the mixture so that all the ingredients are well mixed with each other.
If the resulting pumpkin-orange mass is too thick, then you can add ice or ready-made orange juice. But not too much, this smoothie should be thick and rich.
Pour the pumpkin and orange smoothie into glasses or goblets. Decorate with mint, and to emphasize the taste, you can sprinkle the finished drink with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
It is better to serve this pumpkin and orange smoothie with wide straws, since it is thick and it will be convenient to drink through them.
This pumpkin and carrot smoothie is not only tasty and flavorful, but also beneficial for gut health.
Pumpkin and carrots are one of the richest vegetables in their composition, and they should be included in your menu as much as possible, especially during the season. Some pumpkin varieties contain even more beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A) than carrots. Pumpkin contains valuable carnitine, which is involved in fat burning and providing cells with energy. One “tasty” way to eat more of these vegetables is to make pumpkin and carrot smoothies.
And to make this cocktail of carrots and pumpkin useful for the intestines ... ordinary potato starch will help us.
The thing is that raw potato starch is almost indigestible. This is the so-called resistant or resistant starch and is very important to us. Resistant starch passes almost unchanged through the stomach and small intestine, and enters the large intestine, where it is broken down by enzymes of beneficial intestinal microflora. Thus, bacteria receive food, and we - the products of fermentation and the main of them - butyrate (butyric acid) - the main source of energy for intestinal cells.
We don't get enough resistant starch in our food. But you won't eat raw starch just like that. By adding it to smoothies, we get a drink that is good for the intestines and stabilizes blood sugar levels. Add lemon juice, which has anti-inflammatory properties and provides organic acids and potassium. Fats are needed to assimilate beta-carotene, so put 1-2 teaspoons of sour cream in a smoothie per serving. A little spice for charlotte will add spice to the drink. I use a mixture of ground: 1 part ginger, 1 part nutmeg, and 4 parts cinnamon.
This carrot and pumpkin smoothie turns out to have a pleasant sweet-sour taste, with a spice aroma. This cocktail is not only healthy, it is alkalizes the internal environment of the body which is also important to us.
Do not add sugar: this will significantly reduce the value of the drink. If you feel like sweetening it, add stevia. It is a great natural sugar substitute - 15 times sweeter and good to keep in stock. Or a little bit of natural honey.
Take ripe orange squash and sweet juicy carrots. Consider two cooking options: with carrot juice and with grated carrots. Carrot juice smoothies will taste better.
