Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (plain, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 5 ice cubes

Optional Variations

  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (for protein boost)
  • Pinch of ground cloves or ground ginger (for extra spice)
  • 1 tablespoon almond or cashew butter (for nutty twist)
  • 1/4 cup frozen mango or apple chunks (for fruity addition)

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prep Ingredients: Measure out all ingredients including pumpkin puree, banana, milk, spices, sweetener, Greek yogurt if using, and ice cubes. Peel the banana and have everything ready for blending.
  2. Combine in Blender: Place the pumpkin puree, banana, 1 cup of milk, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt (optional), and ice cubes into the blender.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 30 to 45 seconds or until the mixture is creamy and completely smooth without any chunks.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or spice level by adding more maple syrup, cinnamon, or a splash of milk to achieve your desired flavor and texture.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or festive mug. Enjoy fresh to experience the best creamy texture and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess without added sugar.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the flavor and sweetness.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more ice for a thicker drink or more milk for a thinner consistency.
  • Blend thoroughly for a silky smooth texture similar to a dessert in a glass.
  • Use chilled ingredients like cold milk and refrigerated pumpkin puree for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
