updated Oct 29, 2009, 1:54 pm Pumpkin Smoothie
PuraVida | This is the time of year I crave all things pumpkin. This year I am satisfying my cravings with pumpkin smoothies! They are delicious and so nutritious! Today I added a little Greek yogurt, but I think I like the one I made yesterday better without the yogurt. This will definitely keep me away from the pumpkin lattes at Starbucks!
Pumpkin Smoothie
1/2 cup solid pumpkin
1/2 banana
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
8 oz water
ice
3 oz Greek yogurt, plain (optional)
vanilla protein powder (whatever kind you like to use in smoothies)

 The title of this post comes directly from the Super Smoothies recipe book. The writers, Mary Corpening-Barber and Sara Corpening-Whiteford, certainly knew what they were doing when they came up with this sweet, tart, and rich smoothie. Low calories, low fat, and with a nice kick of vitamin C, this drink is fab in the morning or as a snack.
