Why not. We’ve got pumpkin muffins, lattes, cookies, breads, chia puddings and oatmeal so let’s add pumpkin to your breakfast smoothie. It’s like drinking pumpkin pie. Which is a good thing. Sweetened with dates so there is no added sugar, this beta carotene-rich smoothie is a nice seasonal flavor change from those summer berry smoothies. I found this recipe in a beautifully photographed blog, Once Upon a Pumpkin.
