Pumpkin Pie Through a Straw










Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Homesick for the taste of your grandma’s pumpkin pie? Counting down the days until Thanksgiving desserts? Well, now you can have all the potent, pumpkiny goodness of a homemade pie in a glass. Best of all, it only takes a couple of minutes to make!


Ingredients:

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 ½ cups milk

1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)

½ to ¾ cups brown sugar (depending on your sweet tooth)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon cloves

¼ teaspoon nutmeg


Directions:

1. Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

2. Enjoy your smoothie cold or hot.


Hints:

· Adjust the spice and sugar amounts to your personal desires.

· If the pumpkin flavor is too strong, you can substitute some applesauce or even a banana.

· You could make an equally delicious sweet potato pie smoothie by substituting one orange root vegetable for another.
