This is delicious. I did not add the nutmeg as we don't consume intoxicants, neither did I add the ice out of preference and added no optionals either! I used cold homemade almond milk for the milk, to be dairy free. The canned pumpkin I used was also cold, same with the Pure Canadian maple syrup! I may make this again if I'm craving pumpkin pie.

Not a fan of this one at all. To me, it just tasted like canned pumpkin with nutmeg and milk. I ended up adding about a cup and a half of vanilla yogurt to it to make it work. After that, it was pretty good. I would leave out the ice and do the yogurt instead.

Delicious! Better than pumpkin pie and healthier, too! I replaced the milk with soy milk and replaced the maple syrup with ginger jam.

This was OUTSTANDING! I made this for my visiting mother and father and they kept repeating over and over how wonderful it was. My dad loves pumpkin pie and he said it was even better! This certainly doesn't taste like it came from a fitness magazine- it tastes like you are splurging. We really loved this one!

not nearly sweet enough. my guess is that the pumpkin shake recipe is better because it calls for ice cream.
