It’s fall somewhere in the world which means it’s pumpkin time.  Pumpkin pie is one of my favs and while it’s a little early for that indulgence, I have been buying pumpkin like crazy (it always runs out when you need it).  This versatile squash can be added to just about anything, but it’s that pumpkin pie taste that really sings and kicks off the holiday season.  Now that I have almost too much pumpkin, I’m feeding some of it to the pups (great for digestion, healthy coats, and immune systems) and looking for creative ways to incorporate this seasonal gem so here’s what I started with:

Pumpkin Pie in a Cup

Ingredients:

• Half can of pumpkin or 1/2 cup of puree pumpkin
• About 6 oz of unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 6-7 ice cubes
• 6-12 drops of stevia, or honey, or maple syrup (I used none)

DIRECTIONS: 

• Throw everything in a blender and blend till smooth!
