Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree preferably chilled
- 1 banana ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein
- 1 cup almond milk or preferred milk, chilled
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warm spice flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg a nutty, spicy note
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for added depth
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
Instructions
- Add the canned pumpkin, ripe banana, Greek yogurt, and chilled almond milk to your blender. Pulled together, these form the creamy base of the smoothie.
- Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and pour in the vanilla extract. For a touch of sweetness, add honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30-60 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety. You should see a bright orange, frothy liquid with no visible chunks.
- Stop the blender and remove the lid. Give the smoothie a quick check—if it's too thick, feel free to add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly to loosen it.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses, and if you like, garnish with a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for presentation.
- Enjoy immediately for the best chilled texture, or refrigerate for up to an hour to enhance the coldness before serving.
