Pumpkin Smoothie

Yesterday I decided to have a pumpkin smoothie for lunch. It was yummy, and it made the kitchen smell like a pumpkin pie. Then I wanted pie, but there was none.

Pumpkin Smoothie

1/1 cup pumpkin puree (from a can)

milk

vanilla

whey powder

cinnamon

nutmeg

dark agave nectar

Add all ingredients to blender and mix well. Enjoy.

Green Smoothie

I saw a recipe for a green smoothie in a magazine yesterday and thought I'd give it a try because I had all the ingredients at home. As Ross said recently--I've never met a recipe I really liked. I made changes. I'm really surprised at how much I like the smoothie.

Green Smoothie

1 1/2 c. soy milk (we always have vanilla soy milk in the house)

1/2 c. orange juice (I had mango orange Nantucket nectar, so that's what I used)

1 c. loosely packed spinach

1/2 banana

1/2 c. cucumber

1 piece finely minced candied ginger

1 Tbl. flax meal

Throw all ingredients into the blender and puree until smooth. Much yummier than it looks--really.
