Skinny Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

It’s fall, y’all! Well, not technically until next week, but it seems like it, right? Now that the temps are lowering and the trees are starting to change it really is beginning to feel like fall. I love waking up and heading outside in the brisk cool air. I actually dread summer when you wake up in the morning, step outside, and you are already sweating…ugh. But, even in sunny Georgia, we get a pretty legit fall, and it’s glorious! Over the weekend I was making all sorts of yummy fall dishes, and I had some left over pumpkin puree. I decided I wanted to try my hand at making a Skinny Pumpkin Pie Smoothie with my new Blendtec.

Have I mentioned my new Blendtec blender? It’s amazing. It’s awesome and blends anything, literally (click for insane blending videos). I have been using it to make everything; from smoothies to pizza dough, it does it all! I am obsessed with it and can’t wait to see everything it makes. I have pasta and cashew butter on my to-do list!

Anyway, like I said, this recipe is totally delicious! A skinny pumpkin pie smoothie is the perfect compromise for dessert; it feels like you are drinking something decadent, when in reality, it’s actually really good for you. The spices are key here, so don’t forget about those!
