Pumpkin Smoothie Leesten. And heer me. You must make these tonight, tomorrow, and next week. They’re pumpkin smoothies. I had my doubts myself before I ever made a pumpkin smoothie for the first time. Using pumpkin pie filling, frozen solid before blending, gives the smoothie a lovely built-in sweetness and flavor, and the vanilla yogurt takes the flavor over the top. But boy, oh boy. You’ve gotta trust me on this one. The Cast of Characters: Pumpkin pie filling, vanilla flavored yogurt, whole milk, cinnamon, and cinnamon graham crackers. Start by throwing the graham crackers into a plastic bag, then crush them by banging them with something. Start by adding the milk to a blender. Then add the vanilla yogurt. Grab the frozen pumpkin pie filling… And drop it in. Then add a few dashes of cinnamon. Turn on the blender and blend it until the frozen pie filling is totally broken up. They’re nice and cold now, so serve it up immediately. I love these little dang stemless wine glasses. Absolutely delicious.
