Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

1/2 cup plain yogurt*

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

1/2 cup pumpkin purée

1 cup ice**

Whipped cream and cinnamon stick, for garnish

Place all ingredients into blender, except for whipped cream and cinnamon stick. Blend until smooth. Garnish with a spritz of whipped cream, and cinnamon stick.

*To make a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake, replace the yogurt with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. To make a Pumpkin Pie Malt, replace the yogurt with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and 2 tablespoons of vanilla malt powder

**I use flavored ice. I tend to make ice out of every liquid in my house. In this case I used pineapple juice ice for added interest in nutrition. Feel free to use plain old ice from your freezer.
