Among the top few of my favorite things about the Autumn season is pumpkin. I love pumpkin! A lot of pumpkin choices really aren’t that good for us though. (Pumpkin pie anyone?) One fall treat that I can enjoy over and over again with out guilt is a pumpkin smoothie.
If you have followed my personal blog for a couple of years, you have probably seen this, but I thought I would share it here anyway.
Pumpkin is packed with good stuff – fiber, vitamins, a bit of protein, not many calories and very little fat!

Sounds good. Does it just make 1 serving?
ReplyDeleteStacy -- one big smoothie that you could easily share between 2. :)
