Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Smoothie (with optional

October 22, 2013

Creamy chocolate & pumpkinny spice, yet this Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is healthy enough for breakfast. You can even add the optional “green”!

½-3/4 c milk of choice (I use unsweetened almond milk)
½ c canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
½-1 t pumpkin pie spice (I like the full 1 t, or use ½ t cinnamon, ¼ t ginger, ? t nutmeg, pinch cloves)
2 T cocoa powder
One frozen ripe banana
½ c plain Greek yogurt (OR half frozen ripe banana plus one 5.3-6 oz container vanilla Greek yogurt)
Handful of baby spinach (or regular spinach or kale or other leafy green of choice), optional
3-4 ice cubes

Combine ½ c milk and all of the ingredients except the ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Add enough ice cubes and additional milk, if needed, and blend to achieve your desired consistency.
