Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

One thing I love about Fall are pumpkins.  There’s just something about them that makes me happy! Not to mention all the delish pumpkin recipes.  I’ve been experimenting this month trying to come up with new pumpkin recipes.  So this morning I created pumpkin pie in a glass, and it had me doing the happy dance it was so yummy! So here it is, yet another reason to love pumpkin.  Check it out and then hurry and try it!

1/2 cup cubed pumpkin

1 1/2 cup coconut milk

5 medjool dates, pitted

1/4 cup apple juice

1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger

1 frozen banana

dash of cinnamon

sprinkle of dried coconut

If you have the Vitamix it really works wonders on this one! Pour the cubes of pumpkin, almond milk and apple juice and blend until creamy. Then, add the dates, banana, ginger and cinnamon.  Blend for about a minute or until creamy. Pour into a glass, sprinkle dash of cinnamon and coconut on top and voila’ there you have it.  Oh kids love it too, and they have no idea how healthy it is! 😉
