Today's smoothie is the third and final in my series of Three Fall Smoothies You Must Try Now!
If you missed the other two, you'll definitely wand to catch up on the Spiced Green Apple Smoothie and the Better Than Pumpkin Pie Smoothie!
Blueberry Pumpkin and Flax is one of my favorite blends because it's not a traditional combo, which makes it even more surprising when you taste how delicious it is!
Bonus, it's made with easy-to-find ingredients that you can even pick up at Aldi!
Speaking of Aldi, grab my I Heart Aldi | Ultimate Smoothie Builder, which is the freebie I created for this series!

It'll walk you step-by-step through creating a healthy smoothie, including measurements and flavor upgrades!
Something I love about Aldi's flax seed, especially in a smoothie like this one, is that they're roasted. The toasty, nutty flavor adds a whole layer to this smoothie that you wouldn't get, otherwise, and it's just divine.
While this smoothie is decadently creamy, it's incredibly light in flavor. I really do think you're going to be so surprised by this one, in a good way!
It would make a GREAT smoothie bowl, if you're into that kind of thing. There are so many ways you could top this bowl for fall that would be AMAZING - pepitas, granola (something with cinnamon would be YUM), toasted pecans or walnuts... the possibilities are endless. If I were going to thicken this smoothie recipe into something that could be eaten with a spoon, I'd just add more ice and more frozen blueberries.
