Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Posted: September 22nd, 2011, 11:01 pm
A friend posted this on facebook tonight and I thought it sounded good. However, it needs some recipe reconstruction to fit LDL. I thought I would post it and see if Linda, or someone else who is good at conforming recipes to make them more LDL friendly, might weigh-in on what to substitute for the milk and maple syrup. I think the raisins could be omitted and the maple sypup could be replaced with stevia or splenda, but I'm not sure about the milk. Maybe just water could be used in place of milk. And, of course, the whipped topping can be omitted. Any suggestions?
