Breakfast on the go for the pumpkin obsessed. I've been getting tons of requests for more pumpkin recipes using pumpkin butter. Here's a quick low fat breakfast you can whip up in your blender. If you froze some of that pumpkin butter in ice cube trays, no ice is needed. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, Splenda lovers can replace the sugar with Splenda.

I love LOVE love pumpkin smoothies, I've been making a similar one all week for dessert because it taste just like a pumpkin pie milkshake! I like how you use brown sugar, I will have to try that!
ReplyDelete@Rachel- Yes, like a pumpkin pie milkshake!!
ReplyDeleteOH Gina honey.... this looks sooooo divine! What could be better than punkin' pie in a glass. You ROCK!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I can't wait to make this. I made your latte this morning but I already had a smoothie in mind for tomorrow. Now I have a recipe to use! Thanks Gina, you're the pumpkin queen.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to need to try all your pumpkin recipes. They look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI always think of making a smoothie, but it seems like too much of a hassle to pull put the blender. This post may have changed my mind.
ReplyDeleteGina, I love all things pumpkin. I'm getting the ingredients for your pumpkin butter and trying this recipe a.s.a.p Thanks so much for all your great recipes.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Going to make something like this today for sure!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love all of the pumpkin recipes! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good...gonna give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. I cannot wait until our next small group at our house so I can serve these. I know they will be a hit. This time of year is great because I feel as if I can put pumpkin in everything. Just the other day I made a Pumpkin Green Monster smoothie. It was amazing. http://ashandlewplus2.com/2010/09/27/pumpkin-green-monster/ Have a great day Ashlee
ReplyDeleteI'd like one of these now! How delicious!
ReplyDeleteCould I use vanilla yogurt? I already have that on hand.
ReplyDeleteSure, that would work fine.
ReplyDeleteThis soooo tastes like cheating!! How totally YUMMY!! I am gonna make this again for SURE!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it! It's a guiltless pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it Wendy!
ReplyDeleteIt's sooooo addictive I'm going to get more pumpkin today in order to make the pumpkin butter. Pumpkinzillas unite! ;-)
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely one of the pumpkin obsessed! Just made the pumpkin butter last night ...which is wonderful! and having a pumpkin smoothie now. Oh so good!! Thanks for the recipes and I cannot wait to try more!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is so delicious! I am crazy about your recipes, thanks so much! I think I am going to try this with some coconut sorbet tonight for the ice cream loving hubbs!
ReplyDeleteJust made this as my morning breakfast. Lightened the milk to 1/4 c, and only used about the same yogurt. Didn't use any brown sugar--and it still tastes sweet. Also added more ice to make it more thick. This reduced the calories a little bit, so that I could drink the whole thing as breakfast! Turned out great!
