Can't Get Enough Pumpkin

It's true.  I can't.  I really wanted to make a pumpkin pie, but I've been feeling a little slobby lately.  Plus, I just got a new job that involves wearing running tights every day, soooo yeah.  I decided to make this little number instead:

(Vegan) Pumpkin Pie Smoothies 

Ingredients:
(Makes 2 servings)
- 3/4 can pumpkin puree
- 2 bananas, sliced and frozen*
-  3/4 cup almond or coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
-  A few shakes cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt 

Method:
- Throw it all in a blender!
- Enjoy!

To make this super yummy, add some vegan whipped cream on top (whip together some almond or coconut milk and powdered sugar), with a vegan caramel or pecan drizzle!

* I'm serious.  These are standing in for the ice!
