Pumporangana Smoothie

In a blender, blend together:

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
12 oz milk
1 1/2 c orange juice
1 frozen banana
1/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Tips:
  1. You can mix and match the spices to your liking and/or availability. 
  2. This recipe makes a full blender of the smoothie, so you may want to make half or even a third for an individual serving. 
  3. I had leftover pumpkin so I made the above recipe with half a can and it was still great!
