Pumpkin Smoothie

I made this smoothie tonight and Ryan said it made him want to eat a pumpkin pie. I'm not a huge pumpkin pie fan, but if you are you'll enjoy this! Plus it's a lot healthier for you. Pumpkin is a wonderful source of vitamin A and beta-carotene, making it a tasty and healthy addition to your diet. With autumn in full swing and pumpkin in season, be sure to pick some up at your local grocery to make this delicious smoothie, reminiscent of homemade pumpkin pie!
