What comes to your mind when you think pumpkin pie? Thanksgiving? Christmas? Cold weather? Pajamas? A smoothie? How about a pumpkin pie smoothie in pajamas? That sounds PERFECT right about now.
I bought a new pair of pajamas over the weekend that I wasn’t really looking for. I think I went to the store for 1 thing but somehow found myself grazing across every single aisle and then I found some amazing, long, soft pajamas that have foxes on them. Although I wasn’t realllly looking for them, I HAD to have them. Foxes on bicycles! They’re made of fleece material and they’re sooo comfortable. I am counting down the hours until I can get home to them. And I just might have to make myself another one of these pumpkin pie smoothies.
It might not be a bad idea after all because we all know how I could use a little replacement therapy with my milkshake problem. I’m pretty sure I have to have a milkshake every week. Not a good idea because it’s milk and ice cream. I have no problem substituting that for one of these smoothies any day. I mean these are not a bad replacement to say the least! Frozen banana (that’s a fruit!), Greek yogurt (that’s protein!), pure pumpkin (it’s pure!) it totally up my alley.
Right now I am holding up my glass and giving an internet “cheers” to you. Cheers to pumpkin pie smoothies!
