pumpkin spice smoothie

I kind of despise pumpkin. I am by no means a picky eater and there are very food things in the world that I actually don’t eat or don’t like much, puree pumpkin been one of them!

Because I have a couple of pumpkin cans left from thanksgiving and I really want to free the space in my pantry I decided to use them in smoothies. Even though they were OK next time I will use more banana to kind of get rid off the pumpkin flavor even more :-)

On another note, have you notice the nutrition facts on some of my recipes? I am hard at work trying to add them to all of my recipes….it will take me a while but be patient, it will get done!

As I have said in the past, I am not to fond on getting fixated with calories, as I find much more important to focus on the quality of ingredients and moderation. Also, even though many of my recipes are much healthier than other versions out there some of them are getting bad grades…..Oh well…this is not going to stop me from eating them, I can tell you that much :-)

Like I said before, just use your common sense, don’t eat the entire batch of what ever you are making at once :-)

Anyhow, until my next recipe,

Enjoy!!

Pour all ingredients in the blender and pulse for 20-30 seconds. YOU ARE DONE!!

This smoothie is very rich in Vitamin A among other wonderful properties :-)
