I love anything pumpkin. This recipe sounds delicious!
Always making smoothies in our house and we love them. Thanks for sharing the Thanksgiving projects, perfect timing since the kids are going to be home all next week. I see a trip to the local craft store on my list of things to do 🙂
I am making this tomorrow morning for my breakfast! I love pumpkin everything!!!
Sounds absolutely delicious! In my case, I would make that with rice milk, since I’m vegan, but wowsers, really good! Thank you also for the linkup, always appreciated.
Love-love-love the features this week! I’ll have to pin each one!
Thanks so much for hosting such a fun and creative place to party!

Great feature recipes here, the sauteed Brussels sprouts dish looks delish!
Yummy! I love pumpkin pie smoothies in the morning! Here’s a tip, if you’re out of pureed pumpkin, give some cooked sweet potato a try. It’s delicious in a smoothie with some pumpkin pie spice, and tasted very similar to pumpkin. 😉
some good recipes here
Thanks for hosting, have a great day! 🙂
I have some buttercup squash that I cooked in apple cider…sooo good. I bet it would make a delicious smoothie as it’s even sweeter than pumpkin. Thanks for the nudge!
All the best for an extraordinary day!
