I love the idea of making pumpkin cubes - I'll have to do that soon! When I make smoothies, I rarely use banana. Lots of people like to use them because they add sweetness, especially if you are also tossing greens into your smoothie, and frozen bananas offer a thick, creamy texture. Me? I much prefer berries over bananas in smoothies.

Yummm!!! I agree that all smoothies rely on bananas too much. Pumpkin is a genius replacement

In reply to Shareba @ In Search Of Yummy-ness. Thanks, Shareba! I tried a few versions of this recipe, but this was my favourite in the end. One of my versions even had a little Bird's Eye custard powder in it, but that one tasted great but had a cornstarch-y mouthfeel I didn't like. In the end, the simplest ingredients worked out the best, I guess ;)

I've been experimenting with pumpkin-flavoured drinks too, but I haven't found anything that I really like yet. Your shake looks yummy though! I've pinned this to my "pumpkin love" board :)

In reply to Lynn. Thanks! Hmmm, maybe it lends a certain creaminess? But doesn't it overwhelm flavours?

I like the texture bananas provide, especially if I'm not including yogurt in the smoothie. But that's just me.
