Woohoo, it’s Fall (almost?)! So I was ready for the cooler months, figured out this recipe, but then wasn’t sure what to call it. Do I label it a smoothie or a shake? Typically, ice cream as the main ingredient makes a drink a shake, but what about if you use something like almond milk as your main liquid – as I do with this recipe? Is it then considered  a smoothie, or some kind of hybrid that’s across between a smoothie and a shake? I know! I’ll call it a shoothie. Anyway, here’s the yummy delicious directions for this pumpkin smoothie recipe. Whether it’s a smoothie or not, well that’s debate-able….but who cares!? Man, this stuff is so good and healthy to boot that I don’t care what you call it.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe

Directions:

Combine all your delicious ingredients in a blender and mix until will blended. Enjoy topped with a little pumpkin pie spice, and possibly homemade cool whip if you’re feeling daring! Serves 2-4 and it’s cheaper to make than to buy at the drive-thru!
