Pumpkin PIE Smoothie

1-1/3 cup cooked Pumpkin *
1 cup Soy Milk – sweetened vanilla type
1 teaspoon molasses – for that pie flavor!
1/8 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon (to dilute the pie spice)
1 teaspoon brown sugar or other sweetener

Process all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
If too thick for your blender to completely process, add a touch of more soy milk, water, ice, or cider.

* To easily cook pumpkin, put entire washed pumpkin in baking pan in a 300 degree oven for a half-hour, and then turn off the oven. Let sit overnight. The next morning, the pumpkin should have collapsed on itself and you can easily peel back the skin to scoop out the softened flesh with a spoon. Don’t worry about the stringy bits as the blender will deal with those, but be sure to separate any seeds to roast separately.

** Sugar pumpkins give the best flavor, but regular ones are still good.
