Pumpkin Smoothie , NO BLENDER REQUIRED !

Hey all ,
When I really want a low calorie but filling smoothie , this is my go-to .  It is really fast , easy , and no blender is necessary ... which is great because right now I am blender-less .  This is good pretty much year round because it is like pumpkin pie but not as sweet .  There are two ways to make this , and you only need 4 ingredients .



Version 1
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 cups vanilla soy milk
1 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice

Version 2 is not much different but if you don't drink vanilla soy milk (like my family) this is what you do so you don't have to buy a quart of something that you otherwise wouldn't touch .

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 cups plain soy milk
1 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice

All you have to do is find a whisk and stir it up and you have a delish smoothie that is really healthy for you!  Pumpkin is one of those super foods and canned pumpkin , unlike other canned foods , doesn't lose much nutritional value.  There is a link below that is all about the health benefits of pumpkin if you are interested.  :)

Enjoy !
