Ingredients
- 1 Cup Pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 Frozen banana (adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture)
- 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain; adds protein and creaminess)
- 1/2 Cup Almond milk (or your favorite milk alternative)
- 1 Tbsp Maple syrup (for a hint of sweetness)
- 1/2 Tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional) for garnish
- A dash of cinnamon (optional) for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients:If you haven't already, freeze your banana the night before. This step gives the smoothie a thick and creamy texture without needing too much ice.
- Blend It All Together:In a high-speed blender, combine the pumpkin puree, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.Tip: Start with a lower amount of pumpkin pie spice if you're sensitive to spices, and adjust after blending.
- Adjust Consistency:If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust:Taste your smoothie and add more maple syrup if you like it sweeter, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for more spice.
- Serve and Garnish:Pour the smoothie into a glass and top it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for that perfect pumpkin pie presentation.
