Happy Spring! It may not be anywhere near Fall, but I can always go from Pumpkin Pie. And while I would absolutely eat Pumpkin Pie for breakfast, this smoothie is definitely a healthy, quicker version – and a perfect start to the week! And not only is it delicious on it’s own, but you can also use it as a base for oatmeal! I mixed the smoothie in with some instant oatmeal (my favorite is this one – Trader Joe’s Instant Oatmeal), heated it in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, and mixed. It was SO good and extra filling for breakfast if you need more than just a smoothie.

I’m writing just the smoothie recipe below, but as I said, it’s super easy to turn it into a filling, oatmeal breakfast as well!
