I think my favorite thing about fall is getting fresh pumpkins to bake with. Our favorites are pumpkin pie, pumpkin gingerbread muffins, and pumpkin pancakes. So, when fellow Bountiful Baskets participant posted a recipe for Pumpkin Smoothies, I looked it over, realized I had all the ingredients, and decided we needed to give it a try.
The recipe is from a picture that Oasis Advanced Wellness posted on their Facebook page about the Health Benefits of Pumpkin.
Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie
What you need:
1 frozen banana
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1 cup pumpkin, grated (I use pureed pumpkin)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Freshly ground pumpkin seeds (optional)
Agave nectar, stevia, or raw honey to taste
Ice cubes, to help thicken, if needed
How to make it:
Combine all ingredients in a blender until creamy.
So how was it?

Like a creamy pumpkin pie blended in a glass! I thought it was really good, Katie thought it was a little too spicy but still good.
