- 1/2 banana frozen
- 1/2 cup pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling, frozen, puree
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt plain, nonfat
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon old fashioned oats toasted and ground**

Notes
- *The smoothie will be better if your pumpkin is frozen. I just freeze tablespoonfuls on a cookie sheet and keep in the freezer.
- ** to toast the oats, place in a small skillet over medium heat and toast for about five minutes, stirring often and watching to make sure they don't burn. You can grind them in a spice grinder or in your blender.
- ***for gluten free be sure to use GF oats!
