Day 42: Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Welcome to this week's Tasty Tuesday! Today we made pumpkin pie smoothies!


They look like eggnog, but I swear it's pumpkin in there.

Today's post will be short and sweet. We created our own recipe for the pumpkin pie smoothie, so feel free to steal it if you're so inclined:

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
1 cup pumpkin
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
(or other appropriate fall spices)
4-6 ice cubes

Combine ingredients in blender.
Perform the pumpkin pie smoothie dance while it blends. This ensures an ideal taste for your fall treat.

As always, here are some pictures from our time creating today's recipe. And yes, I did the pumpkin pie smoothie dance. As the directions indicated, it's an important step.


The ingredients shot!


Look at the mountain of pumpkin! It's like an avalanche of fall goodness!


Here I am cleaning up spilled milk. I tried not to cry.


Adding vanilla. Also note how our kitchen seems to defy basic cleaning.
No matter how we try, it's always a mess.


Pensively pouring the maple syrup. You can also add honey if you want.
Your choice. It is your smoothie, after all.


As promised, here's the pumpkin pie smoothie dance. It's a lot like
the dance from Peanuts, only more festive for fall.


Our finished smoothies! They wouldn't look nearly as nice
if it weren't for that dance I did...

That's it for today! Join us tomorrow as those bead spiders finally creep and crawl onto the blog!
