So, I have a very picky eater. He’s not adventurous, doesn’t care that he doesn’t like things and can’t even be bribed to try new foods, except sweets. There was a time when I could bribe. One day last year, he comes home from school and announces he likes pumpkin pie. Probably the one thing I’m not all that fond of. So, to capitalize on this new found like I’ve been trying new recipes and ideas that use pumpkin. Some were hits, some were misses.
Then it hit me! Try a milkshake. A pumpkin spice milkshake. So I did and in true picky child form he announced, “Well, it isn’t terrible” and then proceeded to drink the whole milkshake. For this milkshake I added a bit of my homemade pumpkin pie spice blend because I feel canned pumpkin can use a little dressing up. I started with a minimum knowing my son’s tastes. Taste this milkshake as you go along making it. Add more, or less, for your tastes of both pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin.
A big thank you to Terri from Love and Confections for hosting #PumpkinWeek again this year.

I like the ideas of a cold piece of pumpkin pie in a glass. Thank you for sharing this awesome fall inspired milk shake.

Who doesn’t love a milkshake? This time of year I’m about everything pumpkin, so you can bet I will be trying this one.I bet it tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass.
I have a very picky eater, too. Anything to get them to try something new!
My daughter just decided she likes pumpkin spice too – and she will LOVE this! Such a great recipe for Fall.
My kids will go crazy for this! It’s still warm here in Arizona, so this is the perfect way to get our pumpkin fix.
SO much better than a 5 dollar frappucino! Pinned it–thanks for linking up!
