    I make a version of this, but instead of evaporated milk, I eliminate the ice cubes and use frozen banana slices to thicken it (also a good way to deal with over-ripe bananas). Gives you another serving of fruit and keeps the drink cold without diluting it. - 5/22/08

    Yum. I also recommend usuing frozen bananas (or even frozen pumpkin puree)..I hate how melted ice waters down a smoothie. I would also try using frozen berries in this (in place of some of the ice). Definitely would make this again! - 5/22/08

    What a great idea to use canned pumpkin in a protein shake! Like everyone else, I completely changed up your recipe, but I'll still credit you for the idea! :) I only used skim milk, not soy or evaporated, and unstead of splenda used eggnog flavored coffeemate coffee creamer. Thanks! - 10/24/07

    I simplified the recipe by skipping the evaporated milk. I doubled the pumpkin instead. I used 1% milk instead of soy and left the rest the same. was GREAT! My kids love it too! - 5/29/08

    This is wonderful. I like it with yogurt instead of evaporated milk, though. - 5/22/08
