Pumpkin Smoothie
There are very few things that are difficult to find in The Netherlands...canned pumpkin being one of them...and pumpkin pie spice being another. In order to make this smoothie I had my mom bring me some canned pumpkin when she visited this summer and I made the pumpkin pie spice on my own. I still want to work on perfecting this recipe... I am comparing it to Jamba's Pumpkin Smash that I used to get every fall while I was in college. Jamba's was more like a milkshake so maybe they used frozen yogurt. I will give that a whirl another time! I made this recipe post-workout- it was super delish, filling, and healthy!
