Pecan Pie Smoothie
Creamy, smooth and nutritious, this pecan pie smoothie is a great plant-based breakfast loaded with delicious flavors.
I stumbled upon this recipe for Pecan Pie Smoothie over the weekend and decided it was the best way to use up leftover pecans.
Pecans are super healthy and have good fats. They are also an excellent source of vitamin E, they are also very rich sources of several important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates.
Pecans are also rich sources of minerals like manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.
The list goes on – so rather than bore you with the health benefits, let’s talk about this yummy recipe!
Use toasted pecans, almond or cashew milk, frozen banana, whole grain oats, vanilla extract, and dates to create a delicious smoothie that tastes like pecan pie in a glass!
