Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
1 banana (frozen)
1/4 cup pure pumpkin (canned is fine)
1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
pinch of ground ginger
2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, adding more almond milk as necessary to achieve a smoothie consistency. Taste, adding more maple if desired. 186 calories.
I try to keep some frozen banana slices in the freezer just for these smoothies. I just slice the banana, place the slices on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once the banana's are frozen I transfer the slices into a baggy and then into the freezer.
Oh, does that sound good. Have never tried Almond Milk. Any good??
