The vanilla yogurt in this recipe makes the smoothie taste just like pumpkin cheesecake. You'll think it should be in a pie shell!

1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 cup fat-free milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons sugar
sprinkle of nutmeg

Directions

Before you begin: Wash your hands.
