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.

As I’ve written before I am not a big fan of peaches. I just don’t care for the flavor of a peach. But I’ve been told I’m weird so I try to give the peach its due and include peach smoothie recipes. Here is a healthy recipe for a peach smoothie that I might even try one day.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup of fat free milk (or 1/4 fat free milk and 1/4 soy milk)
- 1 cup lowfat peach yogurt
- 2 cups of ice
- Dash of nutmeg

Summer peaches, is there anything sweeter? Probably, but still…a peach smoothie in July is a good thing. You may wish to leave in the syrup if you use can sweetened peaches.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups peaches (its up to you if you used sweetened or not, I do)
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream or 2 cups of vanilla yogurt
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
The almond adds a nice flavor, but try it without if you don’t have any, you’ll still find it delicious. Adding the ice cream really sweetens it up, so yogurt can take some sugar out. Blend this sucker up and enjoy!
