This week's smoothie recipes come from a new book, Superfoods for Life: Coconut[1], by dietician Megan Roosevelt, R.D., L.D. (Fair Winds Press, 2014).
Pumpkin Pie Coconut Smoothie
This is perfect for the fall season, but I guarantee that you will make it year-round. This smoothie is packed with fiber, rich with vitamin A and full of flavor. It's so good, you'd think it was a pumpkin pie milkshake. – Megan Roosevelt
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk from a carton
- ½ to 1 cup cold water (optional)
- 1 medium banana
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 2-1/2 tablespoons Healthy Grocery Girl Plant Protein Powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 3 or 4 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Serves 1.
Immunity Smoothie

This smoothie is refreshing and contains one of nature's natural antibiotics: lime. Lime helps fight infection and keep the body healthy and in top shape. Raspberries and banana provide more immunity-supporting vitamins such as vitamins C and E. Coconut water hydrates the body and flushes out toxins as well as providing natural electrolytes. – Megan Roosevelt
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 medium banana
- ½ lime, peeled
- 1 cup coconut water
- 3 or 4 ice cubes
Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend to combine until smooth. Serve immediately. Serves 1.
