Light Pumpkin Smoothie

It’s pumpkin season! I’ve used pumpkin in a lot of ways, sweet and savory, but making it into a smoothie was a great treat. It definitely tasted like a smoothie; fresh, thick, fruity and sweet without being over-the-top. The pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice gave it a really fun Fall twist. This smoothie is filling, and it's a great way to get some fruit and dairy in your day. I look forward to having this again, hope you like it as well. That's what's on my table tonight.
