Who says you can only enjoy pumpkin in the fall? This refreshing, filling smoothie is ideal for recovery after a tough run any time of year. Pumpkin is high in fiber and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that protects eye health. Silken tofu lends a thick consistency and, along with soy milk, provides a nondairy source of protein—making them ideal choices for lactose intolerant runners.
