Pumpkin Soymilk Smoothie

Kristine at Food.com's Note:

I had a can of pumpkin puree (leftover from Pumpkin Whoopie Pies) to use up, so I whipped up -- or rather, blended -- this simple smoothie for breakfast. Increase the honey (or other alternative sweetener) if you want a sweeter flavor. Throw in more pumpkin spice if you want it, well, spicier.

Yield: 1.0 smoothie

• 1 cup soymilk (plain or vanilla-flavored, low-fat if possible)
• 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree

Directions:

1. Place a cut-up banana in a freezer-friendly container and store in the freezer overnight to freeze.
