A loaded pecan smoothie.
I am from Georgia and have many pecan trees on my farm. Pecans are high in fiber and antioxidants. The addition of pumpkin and banana make this an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
In my home town, you can smell the pralines as they cook year-round. It is intoxicating. I love pecans. Although this smoothie is not a replacement for pralines, you will love it. It is a delicious smoothie that will remind you of chocolate pecan pie.
