Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie

This healthy pumpkin smoothie is like chilled pumpkin pie in a glass, but without the fat and calories. This thick and creamy smoothie makes a delicious and filling liquid breakfast or an energy-boosting 'snack.' Be sure to use a very ripe banana, preferably frozen, and sweeten your smoothie according to your preference.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 very ripe medium-sized banana
• 3/4 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt (I used Oikos 0% fat Greek vanilla yogurt)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup crushed ice

Preparation:

Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth, making sure the ice is completely crushed.
