Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 frozen banana
- 5 frozen pumpkin puree cubes or ¼ cup pumpkin puree

- Add the oats, pumpkin puree and frozen bananas to the blender. Then the Greek yogurt and milk. Cover and start with the blender on low, and then as things start breaking down, turn it to high speed and let it run about one minute, until everything is well blended.
- You are looking for a smooth, slightly thick consistency when you are done.
- Then pour into cups, glasses, or jars (whatever suits your fancy) and enjoy!
Notes
Vitamix Tip: I use my Vitamix 5200 exclusively for making smoothies. Regular blenders might work the first few times that you use them, but I they don't hold up to frequent use and don’t blend the frozen ingredients in the creamy consistency as well. Be sure to use the tamper!
Freeze your pumpkin puree: I like to take a can of the Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix and combine it with a 15 oz can of pumpkin puree. Freeze this mixture in silicone ice cube trays or in these 2 Tablespoon Souper Cubes Trays.
