Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 ripe banana (frozen works best for a creamier texture)
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat)
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes, optional, for extra chill
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, banana, milk, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup into a blender to prepare for blending.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. For a colder and thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or spice level as needed to suit your preference.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and optionally top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a festive finish.
Notes
- Use frozen banana for a thicker and creamier texture without diluting the smoothie with ice.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar depending on your preference.
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk, oat milk, or another plant-based milk.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice amount to taste or use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for a personalized spice blend.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately for the best flavor and texture.
