Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut, or any preferred)
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or individual spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, optional cloves)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the plant-based milk and pumpkin puree to your blender first, then add the frozen bananas and pumpkin pie spice on top to help blend efficiently.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no chunks remain.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your pumpkin smoothie and adjust the flavor as desired. Add extra pumpkin pie spice for more warmth or a sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
- Adjust Consistency: For a thicker smoothie bowl, use less plant-based milk; for a thinner drink, add more milk until you reach the desired texture.
Notes
- Use super ripe bananas for natural sweetness and freeze them beforehand to achieve a creamy texture.
- To blend effectively, place liquids and soft ingredients near the blender blades first, adding frozen fruit last to prevent jamming.
- Feel free to customize the spice blend based on your preference or omit cloves if you don’t have them.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a natural sweetener of your choice.
