Pumpkin Smoothie

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make a pumpkin smoothie, take some fresh or frozen pumpkin (in this case, freshly frozen pumpkin is used), fruit drinking yogurt and fruit, in this case it's fresh apricots - summer, it's necessary to use seasonal fruits more often.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the apricots well under running water and blot them with a paper towel or napkin. Choose ripe and softer fruits, you will need 2 apricots for 2 servings of smoothies.

3. Step 3:

   

   My pumpkin is frozen in diced form. If you have it whole, then it needs to be cleaned and cut into pieces convenient for stewing or short cooking. I prefer to cook the pumpkin until soft, it tastes better this way. I do it in the microwave - literally 3-4 minutes at maximum power, and the pumpkin becomes soft and ready to eat.

4. Step 4:

   

   All ingredients can be combined by simply cutting them into small pieces and diluting with yogurt. This option is also quite acceptable for fans of textured food, in this case drinks. But still we are used to smoothies in the form of a single consistency of the drink. Therefore, let's take a blender and put the softened pumpkin in its glass first.

5. Step 5:

   

   Remove the seeds from the prepared apricots and also put them in the blender bowl to the pumpkin.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add the drinking sweetened yogurt.

8. Step 7:

   

   If you are using yogurt that is not sweet, then add a little sugar if desired. I had strawberry yogurt and there was no need to sweeten it additionally.

9. Step 8:

   

   That's all - it remains to punch the ingredients folded into a glass until smooth. I punched a little bit at low speed, and then increased and punched a little more before the foam appeared.
