Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

Yesterday I was stuck in my house all day with hardly any food ( i havent been shopping in 2 weeks!) and I was really craving something sweet. I rummaged through my fridge and in the freezer i found some frozen bananas (i freeze them to use them in banana bread or smoothies). i had somemilk i needed to use up, so i thought "ok, I'll just make a banana smoothie" but then my eye caught something in the verrrry back of my freezer. A tupperware of pumpkin puree! I talked about pumpkin puree in my pumpkin bread post (here) and i had been saving the leftover puree from the bread to make a pumpkin pie. However, over the last week or so, I have seen so many pumpkin recipes i want to try, and walmart (the only place i can buy pumpkins here in Mexico) is all out and the produce manager told me they probably wouldnt be stocking anymore. I was faced with a difficult decision...save the puree for a pie, or try delicious-looking pumpkin bar recipe... In the end, the pie won. I've been craving pumpkin pie for over a year now, and so into the freezer it was for my pumpkin puree.

But yesterday, when I saw that puree sitting in the back of the freezer, I decided that taking just a tablespoon or two wouldnt matter.
Pumpkin Smoothie

  • 1.5 c milk
  • 1/2 small banana cut in thin rounds (you could leave this out if you wanted to)
  • about 2-3 tbsp pumpkin puree (I just threw mine in frozen)
  • 1tbsp sugar (more or less to taste)
  • pinch or 2 of cinnamon, nutmeg and any other spices you like in your pumpkin pie
Blend all ingredients together and enjoy.

  3. I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog readers have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this problem?

  15. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your
    weblog when you could be giving us something informative to
    read?
