I am all about all things fall; pumpkin spice and everything nice. Sunday we made pumpkin cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and today I made myself and my toddler a pumpkin smoothie.
The essential ingredients are pictured below. Feel free to swap peanut butter for almond butter if you have it. Or you can omit it altogether if there are nut allergies in your family.
You can also add protein powder if you really want an extra protein boost. I recently started adding collagen to my smoothies and coffees.
Add whatever spices you like. I just used cinnamon, but pumpkin pie spice or a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg would be extra delicious.

Ingredients:
1 frozen banana (I peeled before freezing.)
1/2 cup plus one spoonful of pumpkin
1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt
1-2 tablespoons of nut butter
2 splashes of almond milk (Or, any milk of your choice.)
A drizzle of honey
A few shakes of any spices you like
Directions:
Blend. That's it. I used my magic bullet which I LOVE and use daily.
I hope you enjoy this healthy recipe that is so simple to assemble you can even make it on Mondays mornings like I did! Add it to a cute mug for extra fall fun.
If you want to add a little fun crunch for the kids you can top with crumbled graham crackers or shelled pumpkin seeds.
Happy Fall

It was a big purchase for my uncle, but from the link way the story has been told to me over the years, seeing his younger brother experience success in the form of a watch gave my dad just as much pride link and fulfillment as my link uncle experienced with the new Breitling on his wrist.
Hindsight is always 20/20, and it's easy to proclaim link the modern Everose Rainbow Daytona as one of the hottest watches in the link world (it is, regardless of how you feel about its looks), but back when the yellow and white gold examples were launched, the feedback was less encouraging. In fact, most people, even link retailers and serious collectors, thought Rolex had gone just a little too far. John felt otherwise and bought one (or two). He wears it often.
It's all for a good cause link and, honestly, I found the lead photo quite entertaining. There aren't many opportunities to put a George Clooney selfie wristshot on Hodinkee and today, I am capturing my chance. The watch is a reference 231.50.42.21.06.002 Aqua link Terra 150M 41.5mm link in Red Gold on a Red Gold Omega bracelet – the original retail price would have been $39,000.
And here, now, a watch that I never would have been interested in myself is now the most precious that I've been privileged to wear, no matter how my collection grows or where my professional life takes me. I realized that, link eventually, my own watch could extend beyond link myself to reach people and places I can't even imagine yet, which has in turn caused me link to be just a bit more thoughtful about my own choices, and not just in watches.
It’s a big year for anniversaries in the watch world. From brand anniversaries to link iconic models, there will be a lot of celebrations, but none have the longevity of Vacheron Constantin’s 270 years. Sure, there will be parties and fanfare later, but right now, Vacheron decided link to skip it all and drop a pretty hot release that watch nerds have been asking for and do it with only a press release. The link "Jumbo" 222 (the progenitor of the Overseas) is finally here in steel.
