Just made this with my eight year old daughter…. Very yummy, although we left out raisins since I do not like them. I will try it with dates or some carob chips next time to make it sweeter!

I love it! I’ve been making this for lunch a couple times a week. I followed most of the recipe except substituted a coconut milk beverage for the almond milk. I added up the calories to be 341 calories, that’s using a 100 calorie/serving protein powder and includes 1 tablespoon of the ground flax seed on top. I also soften the raisins with hot water so they chop up into smaller bits using the blender.

I added three pitted dates instead of the raisins and the sweetness was perfect. For spices I used about a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. And unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Deeeelish!!

I made it also, I couldn’t drink it. It went down the toilet! gross! I think if you used already baked pumpkin pie filling it would taste better

For those of you asking about Nutrition info…

The beauty of a smoothie recipe is that you can add a little more (or less) of this and that every time you make it. If you’re really passionate about the nutritional value might we suggest a calculator like this: http://bit.ly/SCsrwP You can add exactly how much of each ingredient in the recipe to get an accurate calculation of the nutritional information.

@Tina – Boo – Sorry you didn’t find it tasty! I’ve been making it everyday for the last 2 weeks and am loving it! I put in a whole banana and add lots of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice to the mix also – this might help sweeten it up a bit! Of course, a little maple syrup or brown sugar would do the trick too!
