Is it too early for pumpkin? 

We think not! 

This delectable, healthful smoothie is packed with vitamin A, potassium and fiber. 

Top each serving with some ground flax seeds or a pinch of nutmeg if you like.

Here is what you'll need:

• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• 1 large ripe banana
• 1 cup unsweetened soymilk or coconut milk beverage
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 5 ice cubes

This will be enough for about two servings.

Here is the real tough part:

Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into your favorite smoothie container and enjoy.

Each serving provides an estimated: 

1. 160 calories (20 from fat)
2. 2.5g total fat

Great for the up coming holidays and a healthy cure for that fall pumpkin fix.
