Are you looking for a healthy and delicious Halloween-themed recipe?!
I made the October 2011 Dietitian Pick of the Month recipe at one of my Hy-Vee stores a few days ago, and it was a hit! Many customers really enjoyed the pumpkin and banana flavors combined in addition to a hint of cinnamon! The chef at the store added in fresh nutmeg which smelled and tasted delicious!
Here is the recipe. This smoothie is perfect at breakfast or a mid-morning snack. Plus, kids will love it. What an easy way to add in fruits to their diet.
