I just dump all the ingredients in the blender and turn it on. Simple, easy, and healthy. Ok so maybe the caramel is not so healthy, but I just had to do it. Besides, I only used a teaspoon.
This smoothie was a big hit. I gave it to my six year old daughter, thinking she would take a few sips and then not like the pumpkin taste. Instead she downed the entire glass all by herself while eating a pumpkin apple scone (recipe coming later in the week). So see, kids will love it too. I think the pumpkin and apple were a perfect match and the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness, without making it too rich.

ReplyDeleteWhat did you make?
DeleteYum! Love this combo! I make smoothies everyday so definitely adding this to my smoothie rotation. :)
ReplyDeleteI may have to add your nutella banana smoothie to my list.
DeleteHaving already placed three bananas, sugar, and cinnamon in a blender for an ice-creamless milkshake, I paused to consider adding flavored-yogurt though I'd never actually made a yogurt smoothie before. Fortunately a few days ago I bought a cup of Chobani apple cinnamon yogurt for the first-time since it was a newly stocked flavor at my grocer. Due to the cinnamon it seemed the obvious flavor choice, but I didn't know if apple would complement the banana. A quick internet search brought me here which revealed apple and banana as an appropriate pairing—needless to say my first-ever homemade smoothie is absolutely delicious!!! Thanks for your part in creating it!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it. I always put Chobani yogurt in my smoothies. They have lots of great flavors.
