Method
- Gather all your ingredients: pumpkin puree, frozen bananas, pumpkin spice almond milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, ice cubes, almond butter, and pumpkin pie spice. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
- In a blender, combine ½ cup pumpkin puree, ⅔ cup frozen bananas, and ½ cup pumpkin spice almond milk. This combination will serve as the base of your smoothie.
- Add ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt to the blender. This will contribute to the creaminess and provide protein.
- Next, toss in ½ cup ice cubes. This will make your smoothie nice and chilled, perfect for a refreshing drink.
- If you’d like extra richness, add 1 tablespoon almond butter. This is optional, but I highly recommend it for added flavor.
- Finally, sprinkle in ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. This spice is crucial for giving your smoothie that quintessential fall flavor.
- Blend all the ingredients on high until smooth. Keep an eye on the texture; it should be creamy and well-combined.
- Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you’d like it sweeter, you can add a touch of honey or maple syrup and blend again.
- Pour the smoothie into two cups. I love to use clear glasses so that the beautiful orange color is showcased.
- Enjoy immediately! You can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
Notes
If you want to make some adjustments, consider these tips:
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- Freezing: You can freeze your smoothie for a later date.
- Pairing: Pair with a light salad or toast for a complete meal.
