Hey  Chicks!

Fall is in the air and we are still lovin’ our Vitamixes and can’t get enough green smoothies. Here’s a fall twist on a smoothie – just in time for Thanksgiving. Canned pumpkin can be readily found at most grocery stores, and it’s pretty cheap. It is super high in fibre and nutrients and a great addition to your diet.  Try this one out and let us know what you think – as well as your own smoothie ideas!

Drinking your pumpkin pie saves a ton of fat and calories!
