Leesten. And heer me. You must make these tonight, tomorrow, and next week. As simple and throw-together as they are, I promise they’ll be one of the most delectable things you’ve ever put in your mouth.

They’re pumpkin smoothies. And they’ll rock your world.
I had my doubts myself before I ever made a pumpkin smoothie for the first time. I imagined a watery, semi-creamy concoction that would likely taste like three-week old pumpkin pie juice. (Huh? Gross.) Instead, it turned out to be one of the creamiest, most delicious treats I’d ever tasted—almost like a pumpkin milkshake, but not nearly as sinful.
Using pumpkin pie filling, frozen solid before blending, gives the smoothie a lovely built-in sweetness and flavor, and the vanilla yogurt takes the flavor over the top. If you’d like to have a little more control over the sugar in your smoothie, though, you can sub pumpkin puree (make your own; it’s a cinch!) and plain yogurt, then add in whatever sweetener (sugar, honey, agave nectar, orange juice, etc) you’d like.
But boy, oh boy. Try it this way first.
You’ve gotta trust me on this one.
