I found pumpkin ice cream at the grocery store and jumped for joy!  I knew my girls would LOVE it.  Turkey Hill is making a limited edition pumpkin pie flavor, which is what I used for these smoothies but other major ice cream companies are making seasonal pumpkin flavor ice cream as well.  I paired it up with some Chobani chocolate chunk yogurt for extra protein before swim practice tonight and these were devoured!  Okay, I guess that’s a winner!

Ingredients:

1 cup of ice cubes
2 cups of pumpkin ice cream
1.5 cups of vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup of Chobani (use vanilla, plain or chocolate chunk) yogurt
1 scoop of Whey vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

Into your Vitamix or blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.  Add additional almond milk if you the smoothie is too thick.   Serve in fun glasses and stand back… kids love this one!
