After attempting to avoid pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, I found I still had a craving for it a week later. I was hoping this recipe would satisfy my desire for pumpkin pie, and it did a pretty good job. It was thick and creamy, and tasted just like a pumpkin pie milkshake. Mmmm! The size was also nice. There was actually more of it than would fit in my glass, so I shared the extra with my three-year-old. He loved it as well, and drank it up very quickly and happily.
I used light vanilla soymilk as the recipe suggested, but for a few less calories you could easily substitute Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze. I also found that I only needed one crushed graham cracker instead of two for the topping, which saves a few more calories as well.
Overall, a delicious milkshake, especially for the holidays. Although the calories are a little high, it is a nice size serving, and still much lower in calories than a standard pumpkin pie milkshake you might find in fast food joints this time of year.
It's been about a year since I started this blog. A lot has changed for me since then, but what hasn't changed is my love for Hungry Girl recipes. While I currently have very limited time to write my blog, I am keeping it available so you can use it as a resource for Hungry Girl recipe reviews. Since most of my time goes towards my two jobs, my family, and training for a half marathon, my posting will be limited for the time being.
