Pumpkin Smoothie

I made this to try out my new blender and the ninja did great! I only blended for maybe 20 seconds and the ice was completely gone πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ».

Y’all, I *LOVE* Thrive magazine so much. It’s my favorite vegan magazine. Recently I was in a rut so I went through all the fall magazines I have stashed away to make a list of the recipes I want to try.

I got a pumpkin smoothie at Jamba Juice a long time ago and I’d been looking for a way to make that at home. I tested a few recipes I found online but this one from Thrive Volume 19 is perfection! This would make a good breakfast but I have this as my dessert.
