If you (or your kids) are getting tired of the same old snacks I’ve got the perfect solution to switch things up …A Pumpkin Pie Green Smoothie! The kick of the fresh cinnamon along with the sweetness of the banana in this recipe make the spinach hardly even noticeable. So not only is this a fun seasonal drink, but one that’s good for you, too! And if your little ones turn their nose up to drinking something green how about putting it in an insulated cup they can’t see through? Just be sure to show them what they were drinking (and enjoying) afterward so they know greens aren’t so scary after all!

Why I Don’t Hand Out Candy On Halloween
I am working my way back towards healthy eating habits. I made this smoothie this morning and used a blended coconut/almond milk instead of milk. It is absolutely delicious!! Thanks Lisa!!
Tried this recipe after my morning run today and yummy! I didn’t have the plain yogurt so just doubled the milk (I used almond milk). Perfect way to use up the left over pumpkin puree from the whole grain pumpkin muffins I made earlier this week, which were delicious. My family and I have enjoyed every recipe so far.
