Pumpkin Banana Smoothie

Lately we’ve been making a ton of pumpkin recipes. ‘Tis the season after all. But often recipes only need a partial can of pumpkin.  What do you do with that leftover pumpkin? One option is to simply freeze it for later use.  Another is to make some recipe that only needs a smaller amount like this delicious Pumpkin Banana Smoothie we made for Mini Chef Mondays.

I made just enough for one smoothie, but Wesley was nice enough to share with me. Alternatively you could serve this as a smoothie bowl and top with additional ingredients like dried or fresh fruit (bananas, pears or apples would work well) or granola.

    Wow I love banana, and pumpkin, too, I never thought of combining them. This is awesome, and I’m excited to try it. What a cute ‘lil chef you have there!

  2. What a great way to use up your left over pumpkin. We love smoothies. I have never had pumpkin with banana before, would love to try this.
