Don't have time to make a Pumpkin Pecan pie, but still want to savor the taste of pumpkin + pecan goodness? Whip up a glass of this Pumpkin Pecan smoothie and you can have it now! I like to use soy milk for this recipe, because I have found that sometimes almond or hemp mylk can conflict with the nutty flavor from the pecans - but feel free to experiment!
