Pumpkin Banana Smoothie

  Tonight I stayed home from Track practice for way too many reasons I should NOT be using.  In any case I was bored after getting my work done and decided to play around with some more smoothie recipes.  Since I have a ton of pumpkin in the house I thought why not add to my list of pumpkin recipes by putting it in a smoothie.  It only took this one try to get something that not only tastes great but also is healthy and filling.  Enjoy!!!
