Creamy Pumpkin Egg Nog

 

What do you do when you have leftover pumpkin puree? You either make Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, Pumpkin Hot Chocolate or if you have some egg nog leftover you make this drink! I would call this a smoothie, but it's so sweet and delicious I'd rather call it a treat. I threw in some protein powder so I could call it "healthy" Remember the trick to the perfect chilled smoothie is to use frozen bananas. But if you don't have any frozen add some ice cubes. 

Sorry, no fancy photo here. I couldn't wait to get this in my mouth, so phone photo will have to suffice. 

Creamy Pumpkin Egg Nog

1/2 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk Nog (or other brand egg nog)
1 cup unsweetened rice milk
1 frozen banana
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1-2 tablespoon protein powder
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sweetener
Dash rum or rum extract (optional)

Blend until smooth and no chunks remain. Garnish with nutmeg.

Enjoy!
