I’m sure Emilie would say that these pumpkin smoothies would taste better if they had been made in her BlendTec but I have to say that my Ninja did a pretty awesome job at whipping up this refreshing smoothie! My kids got a kick out of an orange smoothie. It would be a fun thing to add to a breakfast menu on Halloween morning.

If you are wondering where is the best place to get pumpkin, you can pick up organic canned pumpkin at Vitacost for $.99 per can or from Amazon for $1.75/can. Costco also has a great price on Libby’s canned pumpkin this time of year.
