Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
This is an oldie, but a goodie, (originally posted November 2011) but was worth reshooting and sharing again! And … we made a video to share with you too 🙂
What kind of food blogger would I be if I didn’t post a creamy and delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie? A hungry one I guess! I’ve resisted making a pumpkin smoothie because I didn’t think I’d like it. Was I completely wrong! After making a pumpkin pie last weekend I had a little canned pumpkin left over. I am so glad because this was great. I went back to the pantry to make sure I have another can of Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin because I’ll make this again and again. It tastes like pumpkin pie to me but it’s healthy, filling and completely appropriate for breakfast.
Check out these adorable gourds and pumpkins. We picked these at a local farm – three for a dollar! What a deal and what a fun day with our grandchildren. The little ones get such a thrill from picking their own pumpkins.
