If you’re craving pumpkin pie, but you don’t feel like baking (or having tons of leftovers), or if you have some left over pumpkin puree, this smoothie is perfect. It’s pumpkin pie flavor in a glass! The almond butter and dates give it a rich, full texture.
I used yogurt for the base, but for Paleo or non-dairy you can sub full fat coconut milk.
