#795: Pumpkin Pie Parfait

I actually found this recipe posted as a "Pumpkin Pie Parfait."  I was super excited to try it so I made it just about as fast as I "pinned" it.  Well for me this is definitely not a parfait.  I would need to add several more frozen banana pieces to make this thicker, and also additional suggested toppings such as graham cracker pieces to make this a thick, pumpkin pie tasting parfait.  I don't want those added calories.  So I decided to drink this as a pumpkin pie smoothie instead.  It was delicious.  Although I absolutely love chia seeds I decided to leave them out of this recipe.  This recipe is sitting in my blender in the fridge waiting to be whipped up tomorrow for a quick, healthy, to-go breakfast.

1/4 cup plain pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
1/2 large frozen banana
1 to 1 1/2 cups almond milk (I used 1 c of unsweetened chocolate almond milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (I omitted)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Optional Toppings:

Crumbled graham crackers
Peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
Cinnamon

Blend all ingredients in a blender, adding the almond milk as you go until reaching the desired consistency.  Pour into glass and top with desired toppings.

Without the chia seeds this recipe is 1 ww+ pt (with 1 c of unsweetened almond milk).
