Now that it is officially November, I am ready for more pumpkin! To me, pumpkin spice everything, starting in September, is a bit overkill. I believe we shouldn't rush things and mid October through November is most appropriate for the pumpkin flavors to be celebrated. With that in mind, I have been enjoying my favorite take on a pumpkin pie smoothie. All of the spices you enjoy in the pie, plus lots of healthy goodness. Enjoy!
