Ingredients

Base mixture

  • 3 cups unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 1 cup unseasoned canned pumpkin
  • ½ cup plain strained yogurt (Greek-style)
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed (flaxmeal)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

  • 5 tablespoons hot water
