But for those folks that are disciplined enough to watch their figure around the holidays, they can sip on a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie instead.

Nicole, I love your Pumpkin Pie Smoothie and Milkshake! Yes, I love having options- so I can be healthier or more indulgent, just depending on what I darn well please that day! 😉 Thanks for your beautiful traditional Thanksgiving Menu- I love that gorgeous Crock Pot Cranberry Cider. I always serve a themed cocktail, and was having some trouble coming up with something for this year- this may be exactly what I was looking for! 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love, Joy
Thanks Joy! I like to have options depending on my mood too! Have a lovely Thanksgiving!
I’d do the badonk all the way! And then probably once I feel like a huge blimp by the end of the day, a smoothie the next 🙂
Sounds like a plan!
Looks yummy — and I’ll have the Badonk!
🙂 Linda
lol, Good choice Linda!
I made the milkshake and it sounded so good!! But it turned out terrible :(. I did everything the recipe said I don’t get what happened, it tasted like sucking pumpkin purée through a straw. However I did feel like a whole 15 oz can of pumpkin was a lot..
Hi Alyssa! I appreciate the feedback. While my family enjoys extreme pumpkin recipes, maybe the ‘punch you in the face’ pumpkin flavor isn’t for everyone. I think I’ll update the recipe with an option for a milder pumpkin flavor. Sorry this wasn’t to your tastes. Have a great week!
