With a soft taste that resembles caramel, lucuma powder comes from a fruit native to Peru. It’s been shown to help balance blood sugar as well as digestion, and has even been used topically to heal blemishes and wounds. Pecans contain more than 19 vitamins, including vitamin A, E, calcium, magnesium, folic acid and zinc. They’re also full of heart-healthy unsaturated fat, which helps combat high cholesterol. With a lush base of almond milk (iron and calcium), banana(potassium), and butternut squash (vitamin C, magnesium and fiber), you’ll hardly be able to believe this snack is good for you — but it sure is!
Put all the ingredients in a blender and whizz until completely smooth. If it’s a little thick, add a drop of chilled water then blitz again.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass to serve.
