I love autumn, all the beautiful fall colors, and the crisp cool air. As long as it’s not too cold! We have two crabapple trees that are full of berries right now, I love watching all the different birds eating from the trees. We even had a woodpecker the other day pecking the tree (not eating the berries.)
It’s always fun decorating for fall with pumpkins, even our cat came over to help. When our son was two years old he named her Ventury because “she was venturous.”
The cooler days and nights always get me in the mood to roast something for dinner or bake some sweet potato or squash fries. Make some soup or just drink a hot cup of something to warm my hands.
I also love decorating our porch with pumpkins and all the fall decorations, even though our kids are grown. I even love the smells of fall, that’s usually the pumpkin spice smell. Autumn is my favorite time of year, I love it!
I enjoy drinking this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie during the fall, it’s like drinking a piece of pumpkin pie. It’s not only a yummy smoothie to drink in the autumn but it’s good any time of the year.
If you like eating pumpkin pie or anything with pumpkin in it, you will love this smoothie. Even our (I hate vegetables) son enjoys this smoothie.
It’s quick to make and before long you’re enjoying a refreshing drink (not including the time it takes to freeze the banana). For the pumpkin, I like to buy Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin in a BPA-free can from my nearest store.
Enjoy the recipe!
