I modified this pumpkin smoothie into a pumpkin pie smoothie that has a hint of orange flavoring via the orange juice because it makes so much and the kiddos didn't really like it as written, so I'll include the original and how I modified it. I added a dollop of whip cream on top for the kiddos too, but at 1 extra point, you may be able to do so on your own as well.
One servings of this smoothie gives you all the vitamin A you need for a day and almost half of your daily requirement of vitamin C!! BONUS! It also serves up 5 grams of protein!
The whole smoothie batch comes out to 24 points, so if you divide it up into 6 servings, each serving is 4 points. Divide it up into 4 servings, and each serving is therefore 6 points. Divide it into 2 and each serving is now 12 points.
Ingredients:
1 15-oz. can pumpkin, chilled
1 12-oz. can evaporated milk, chilled
1 cup orange juice, chilled
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 medium banana, cut into chunks (optional as written) (I added banana for body)
Ice cubes (optional, but I added for body)
Ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional as written) (I added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
Orange wedges (optional as written)
Directions:
Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, orange juice, brown sugar, and, if desired, banana. Blend until smooth.
If desired, serve smoothies over ice cubes or blend them in and sprinkle each serving with ground nutmeg and garnish with orange wedges threaded onto a skewer.
Serves: 4 - 6
Points: 4 servings=6 points each, 6 servings=4 points each

I have ran this through Weight Watcher's recipe builder and as of 7/5/2016 it has 6 points.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Winnie! Was that with the entire batch divided into 4 servings or 6 servings?
