Best Fall Recipe: Banana Pumpkin Smoothie

My friend Anna once recommended eating canned pumpkin for a semi-sweet, low-calorie snack. I took it a step further with this amazingly yummy, nutritious and--best of all--filling smoothie. Some context: This summer I bought a hand blender and since then, I've been crazy for the smoothies.

• Ingredients: 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin (The more pumpkin you use, the more intense the flavor. I use a 1/2 cup.)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup soy milk
• Trader Joe's pumpkin pie spice (to taste)

Just blend together and enjoy!
