You know we are all about smoothies at my house. Well, if you are like me I can't get enough of pumpkin right now. This smoothie definitely satisfies that craving. The kids love it too. It makes the perfect after school treat.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie- serves 4
Ingredients:
1 can of pureed pumpkin ( I use the organic stuff from Whole Foods)
2 bananas (frozen would make it extra yummy)
2 cups of milk of choice (I use almond milk)
1 tbsp of maple syrup
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
Place all the ingredients in the blender. Blend away and enjoy. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon to make it extra special.

This sounds so yummy! If using the recipe as your ingredients list...what nutrition facts can you provide? I am watching my cholesterol but looking at the list sounds like it may be a good option. Thanks!
We tried a pumpkin smoothie today minus the banana. ICK! lol! I had to add lots of sugar....defeats the purpose I know...but I couldn't throw it out! So next time I'll try adding the banana or apple for sweetness.
We are enjoying our green drinks everyday. I even feel healthier.
my favorite - kiwi/grapes/cilantro/lime/spinach/celery. very bright and springy. Delish!
