Fruity Pumpkin Smoothie

This is it. I'm pumpkin'ed out! No more! Although, there is always next year... Here are some recipes that I will be looking for in the future!
  1.  Pumpkin Chorizo Pizza
  2.  Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
  3.  Best Ever Pumpkin Muffin
  4. Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte
  5.  Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate
All of those recipes just intrigue me and they all sound scrumptious! Is it sad that I'm already looking forward to next October? Not that I couldn't cook them now, but I think I've had enough pumpkin for awhile. Except pumpkin pie... I can never have enough pumpkin pie!

Now this recipe is really easy to make, but you better have a high powered blender in order to make sure that everything is blended together properly. Now the original recipe calls for actual pumpkin (which is so awesome!), but I didn't have any lacking around. Maybe something I'll do again next year? I imagine the taste would definitely be magnified! 

I came across this recipe at Vegan Yack Attack (which has an awesome name!). If your a vegetarian, this is the blog for you! 


Fruity Pumpkin Smoothie

Pumpkin Puree - 1/2 - 1 cup (Or 2 cups partially frozen pumpkin)
Apple - 1 (I used Macintosh) 
Dried Cranberries - 1/4 cup
Cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
Milk - 1 Cup
Ice - 5-6 cubes
*Optional - 1 tsp maple syrup

Combine all the ingredients into a high speed blender. It's usually easier to add the wet ingredients first, then the solid. It helps with the blending process. Garnish with a few cranberries and a pinch of cinnamon. Enjoy!

  1. This smoothie does have some tasty ingredients! My kitchen just seems to hold heat too much when I turn on the oven-so I could use a cold pick me up sometimes. Your picture is so inviting-wish I had the real thing in front of me-yum! Thanks for sharing.
