Autumn is packed full of super nutritious food to help build us up for winter. Say goodbye to summer salads and hello to awesome Autumn smoothies using ingredients you can find at your local corner shop.
1. Sweet Potato Smoothie from mindbodygreen.com
We thought we’d go straight in there with a slightly obscure sounding recipe, but definitely judge this one when you’ve tried it! Put everything in together and blend until smooth.
½ cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed (no skin)
½ large banana or 1 small banana (Try freezing your bananas in small chunks before adding to smoothies. It’s not necessary, but results in an icy cold, thick smoothie.)
1 madjool date, pitted
1 cup almond milk
¼ cup water
2-3 ice cubes
Dash of cinnamon
2. Autumn Berry Smoothie from yummymummy.blogspot.co.uk
Just blend and enjoy!
2 bananas
2 apples
2 pears
2 cups blackberries
1 cup apple juice
6 tbsp yogurt – go for flavoured or plain
Our tip – add some honey for a little extra luxury.
3. Pumpkin and Apple Smoothie from incrediblesmoothies.com
Packed with vitamin A – this one makes use of the Halloween leftovers!
1 cup pumpkin (cooked, canned, or raw)
1 apple, cored
1 banana, peeled

8 ounces of fresh water, pumpkin seed milk or try coconut water)
4. Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie from allrecipes.com
This one is seriously good and is packed full of potassium and protein; ideal as an energy booster and it tastes amazing plus it gets rid of old bananas!

5. Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie from thekitchykitchen.com
We’ve left this one until the end for the smoothie guru as it is a pretty bling recipe. If you want a post-workout smoothie, this is the one. The texture is amazing and it will keep you from being hungry. Make sure you blend it up really well.
