Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 banana, frozen for creaminess
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for a protein boost)
- Ice cubes (optional for a thicker texture)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients.
- In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Consider blending in a layer of ice cubes.

- Once blended and delicious, pour your pumpkin pie smoothie into a glass or bowl.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top before serving.
Notes
For a vegan option, swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt. Use coconut milk or oat milk for a creamier texture. For lower-carb options, use a keto-friendly sweetener.
