PUMPKIN SPICE SMOOTHIE
I hope you forgive my brief hiatus from recipes this week. My parents left today to head back to Iowa and I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I got to spend with them. To make it up to you I present this delicious fall smoothie! Portland has been rainy the last few days, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin beer are out, and I may or may not be doing a little Halloween decorating later today, so it’s safe to say.. FALL IS HERE! Celebrate it with a pumpkin spice smoothie that makes the perfect on-the-go breakfast or mid-day treat!

Ingredients:
1 cup skim milk
½ cup canned pumpkin
½ of a banana
1 Tbs honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
A large handful of ice
Whipped cream to top
Place all ingredients except for the whipped cream into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth and you no longer hear ice chunks hitting the blades.
Pour into a large glass, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon. Serve right away!
Enjoy!
