 Final Thoughts?

Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone: Normally, when people think of “smoothies,” they think “fruit,” and with fruit comes a certain level of sugar. Because this pumpkin shake does not contain fruit, it might strike you as a little flat at first sip. I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad way—you just need to try this recipe wanting a healthy, pumpkin breakfast drink, and not a summery fruit smoothie.  

Experiment with it: If your taste buds find the initial recipe is "too flat," and you're not trying to avoid the sugar associated with fruit, then add 1/2 of a banana. BOOM

** If you're vegan ... try substituting the greek yogurt for a scoop of your favorite vanilla soy protein powder!
