This is a super easy recipe that you can throw into your blender and night and then just have to whip (er, blend) together in the morning. I got my blender going, then added some ice cubes and it was done. You can definitely taste the orange juice in this recipe but it gives it a nice sweetness and isn't too overpowering. This is a thick smoothie, so it's filling. I like it! Extremely healthy too.
Sorry for the bad photo, but I took this literally as I was about to walk out the door. (No time to put it into a clear cup).
1⁄4 cup orange juice
1⁄4 cup low-fat milk (I used coconut milk)
1⁄2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1⁄4 cup canned pumpkin puree
1⁄2 very ripe banana (peeled and sliced)
a dash of cinnamon and/or a dash of nutmeg
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ice cubes
Put all the ingredients in the blender. Put the top on tightly. Turn the blender to a medium setting and blend until the ice is chopped and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
This is 2 ww+ pts for the entire recipe/cup.
