Pumpkin Smoothie

Don't be fooled by the green color...this still tastes like creamy pumpkin pie! 

​It's hard to make a smoothie that doesn't have any fruit in it, only veggies. Well, here it is! This smoothie is perfect if you want something sweet, but need to eat fewer fruits. Pumpkin can easily go sweet by adding some vanilla and cinnamon. 

If you have a dairy allergy, simply omit the Greek yogurt.
