Fat-Free Vegan Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
Even though its unseasonably chilly here in NYC (44 in mid-May?) I'm still enjoying smoothies for breakfast. Not in the mood for my usual peanut butter cup smoothie or neapolitian smoothie I decided to shake things up a bit with pumpkin.... mmm... it's like pumpkin pie in a glass.
Have leftover pumpkin? Make these fat-free pumpkin-raisin oatmeal cookies!
BTW, Happy Herbivore will be down for routine maintenance this evening starting around 8:00 p.m. EST. Sorry for the inconvenience. It'll be back up and running within a few hours.
