Vitamin A Smoothie

If you want it to sound healthy, you can call it that. If you want it to sound delicious, you can call it the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. Yummy!

Here's the recipe
2 cups pumpkin puree (I used butternut squash actually and it tasted the same)
1 (12 oz) can of evaporated milk
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie spice

Blend it all and top with whipped topping.


I thought it would be thicker than it was - more like a milk shake. But it was really thin and so tasty with a bendy straw. I've seen other recipes with apple juice sweetener and bananas as thickener, and I think I may try those in the future. But I really wanted to use one of the half dozen winter squash we have on our kitchen counter, and this was one of my favorite ways so far!

Winter squash is high in Vitamin A and is really good for eyesight, fighting viral infection, and healthy mucosal tissues (to prevent infections from getting in)

Um, this is the best picture I could get....
