Review for Heart Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie

Adam Fisher

Move aside pumpkin spice latte! I just found my new favorite fall drink! After making this smoothie for the first time, it very soon became part of my weekly breakfast lineup. Instead of regular vanilla yogurt, I substitute it with vanilla Greek yogurt to make my pumpkin smoothies creamier and more nutrient dense.
