Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Nothing says fall like pumpkins...or apples...or cinnamon...or nutmeg...or Halloween chocolate peanut butter cups. We usually associate these delicious ingredients with pies and other not-so-healthy desserts that are enjoyed post-Thanksgiving dinner or on that other major holiday, November 1st (a.k.a. Drugstore Halloween Candy Sale Day). Why not enjoy dessert for breakfast? Even better, keep it healthy? And even better than that, keep it easy! Below is a simple smoothie that is packed with nutrients and definitely satisfies any sweet tooth.
