How to make a mean pumpkin smoothie

(and other healthy recipes -food, drinks, and beauty)

It's Spring, so why pumpkin!?

Pumpkin, in my opinion is amazing in any season 

(although you'll have to buy it canned)

The Benefits of pumpkin:

~Extremely low in calories

~No saturated fat or cholesterol

~High in vitamins and anti-oxidants such as Vitamin A, C, and E. 

(Highest in Vitamin A)

~Also rich in Fiber, Calcium, and B-Complex vitamins

Oh, And it's really, really tasty.

So, let's make this quick.

Let's make it sweet.

And let's drink a fantastic smoothie afterwards!

I like nutmeg or a little pumpkin spice on top, but thats a personal preference.
