Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

[KMS]

I made a smoothie this morning because I needed a really quick breakfast to take with me. I found this recipe the other day so I decided to try it. With the holiday season coming up I think that I will be able to pass up a serving of my favorite calorie laden pumpkin pie since I can whip this smoothie up! It has about 150 - 200 calories a serving depending on what milk you use. If you enjoy pumpkin pie then I think that you would really enjoy this. I did!

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
serves 2

1 banana, frozen
1 cup milk or dairy substitute
1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 T maple syrup

Directions - BLEND! :D

I used hemp milk in mine. If you can get your hands on some you will not regret it. It is super creamy, a little nutty, and about ten million times healthier than dairy. (I think it's the healthiest milk substitute.) Today I used just a touch of agave, but next time I'll try it with some pure maple syrup because I think that would make it extra good.

Pumpkin in a smoothe - odd, but great!

I love anything and everything pumpkin. I think I have all those ingredients at home already... I'll have to try it! It sure beats the calories of pumpkin pie - not to mention if I have a whole pie in front of me, I'll eat it!!!

my friend and i at work recently just saw all the pumpkin stuff came out at dunkin donuts. He takes a lunch break at 2pm so he has been running over to get us lattes from there PUMPKIN FLAVORED!! (after 2pm they are only 99cents)
The other day he had to get 20 lattes cuz everyone was so excited about the pumpkin flavor... sooo i think im going to go ahead and bring this stuff to work to make for everyone on tuesday.. but can i ask.. where do you get pumpkin puree?

I brought this to work the other day and people were asking the recipe. I am happy to report that there are several more pumpkin smoothie drinkers at work now! Some people added quite a bit more sweetener to there's though. I can't help but think of how good it would be with a swirl of whipped cream on top! :ooh:

Pumpkin puree is at about any grocery store, in the baking aisle. By the cans of blueberry/cherry pie fillings. Atleast that's where it always has been around here.
