It’s fall! Fall means pumpkin flavored things! I thought that a pumpkin milkshake might be good and I was right (this time…believe me, some of my ideas are complete duds.) It really tastes like frozen pumpkin pie!

When you consider your regular run of the mill vanilla milkshake packs well over 400 calories and 16 – 20 grams of fat, this is a practically guilt-free indulgence. One shake is 325 calories and 8 grams of fat. Plus, it is an easy way to get some milk and has 2 grams of fiber from the pumpkin. So, drink up!

Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 graham cracker, broken into smallish pieces
a pinch each of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger

Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Whiz up until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy! This is a reason to keep straws on hand!
