Pumpkin Smoothie
1 cup nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt
(plain will yield a tarter flavor)
1 cup pumpkin, chilled (fresh puree or canned)
1 banana, preferably frozen (sliced or in two halves)
1/2 cup crushed ice (or cubes)
1/3 cup water
2 T brown sugar
1 t ground cinnamon
1/8 t ground nutmeg
dash of ground cloves
1 scoop protein powder, optional
honey to taste, if desired (for a sweeter flavor)

I am definitely going to try this. Yum and healthy too.
I have to admit, I’m intrigued . . . I love pumpkin, but I’m not sure I could drink it? Is it rich tasting?
It’s a wee bit tart (I use the plain yogurt, not the vanilla) and has a bit of a kick, because of the spices. Although my hubby likes just about everything pumpkin that I make, he doesn’t care for the smoothies. My three-year-old doesn’t like them either. But the first two boys and I all love them!
