Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

  Tomorrow is officially the first day of fall, even though in Texas we are still experiencing summer like temperatures, this means it is time to pull out the pumpkin pie spices :) This smoothie is a tasty and healthy way to get into the fall spirit. Pumpkins are full of beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that protects your body from free radicals and reduces your risk for cancer. Beta-carotene along with the Vitamins C and E in pumpkin help support healthy eyes and converts to vitamin A. Pumpkins are also a good source of potassium that helps lower your blood pressure.   

• 1 cup unsweet almond and coconut milk 
• 1/2 cup pumpkin (I used canned, no added sugar)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.  Enjoy!
