Pumpkin Smoothie
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 tsp. packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 cup crushed ice
If you prefer your smoothie thick and slushy, freeze the pumpkin puree in ice cube trays or in dollops on a small baking pan lined with waxed paper first. Otherwise, you can simply use room temperature pumpkin puree in your smoothie.
Dollops (or chunks) of frozen pumpkin puree:
Combine pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, spices and ice in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into glasses and serve with a dash of ground cinnamon on top.
Enjoy! :)
Looks so delicious! I'll try it when the cold's gone. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've gone pumpkin crazy Christine. LOL Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteChristine, you should think about writing a cookbook!! All these wonderful recipes. Wow.
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW I'm printing/copying all these pumpkin recipies, right? I have a family who loves these... My husband will love this one, I'll just have to replace the sugar with Splenda, lol!
ReplyDeleteUm, kinda like a pumpkin pie smoothie, right? *G*
ReplyDeleteJace : Feel better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteLeslie : I know! I almost hesitated to post another pumpkin recipe. Almost. ;)
KB : Aw, you're sweet.
Hilcia : You are? What a compliment. :)
I hope your husband likes the smoothie!
Brandy : Yes! It's like drinking pumpkin pie filling just without the eggs! Mmmm! ;)
Oh that sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYUMMMMMY!!! Definitely printing this out and making it :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be perfect on a day like today, when it's rather warm here (21 degrees Celsius).
ReplyDeleteWould the recipe work with berries? *thinks of boysenberries on the vine*
And I agree with KB! A cookbook!
Hi Sheila! I hope you give the recipe a try! : )
ReplyDeleteHey Kiwi!! Yummy, indeed. I hope you like it!
orannia, you're torturing me again with talk of boysenberries from your own yard. I mean, I certainly do love my pumpkin, but ... berries are sublime!
If you want to make a boysenberry smoothie, I would freeze a good cup worth of berries first, then combine them with 1/2 cup milk or yogurt, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/2 cup crushed ice in a blender and blend till smooth. Yum!
A cookbook? You flatter me. *blushes*
sounds very good. I will have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI just followed over here to your site. I was browsing around and found this delicious sounding recipe. My son loves pumpkin so I am going to try this tonight with our frozen pumpkin. Thanks wonderfully sounding recipe.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found your way here to my blog.
I hope you get a chance to try the Pumpkin Smoothie recipe and that your son enjoys it! For the record, my daughter liked it with a bit more sugar than I called for in the recipe.
