Pumpkin Smoothie

While this is a great smoothie for the Fall or over Thanksgiving, it is also a great smoothie any time of the year. I won’t lie though it makes a great Thanksgiving Day treat either before or after your large turkey dinner, plus it will most likely be the healthiest thing you put in your body that day.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin
- 1 cup apricot
- 1 tbs sugar
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup of ice
Blend until creamy. Depending on your sweet tooth you may wish to add another tablespoon of sugar.

Originally uploaded by Sunshine Hanan
I chopped up some fresh strawberries, kiwis, and a banana. I added some strawberry yoghurt and apple juice, and blended it all together. It was so delicious :o)
It was nice to take this photo using day light on Saturday morning… wish I could take more photos in daylight rather than at night after work.
