Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
Flavor Enhancers and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Optional Ingredient:
- Ice cubes (for thicker consistency)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: pumpkin puree, ripe banana, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a high-powered blender.
- Drop the banana and pumpkin puree into the blender first to create a smooth base for the smoothie.
- Pour in the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice over the other ingredients.
- Secure the blender lid and pulse a few times to break down the ingredients, then blend on high speed until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
- Assess the texture and consistency; if you prefer a frostier drink, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until completely smooth.
- Transfer the vibrant orange smoothie into a chilled glass, allowing the creamy mixture to settle for a moment.
- Optional: Garnish with a light dusting of extra pumpkin pie spice or a cinnamon stick for an elegant touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, autumn-inspired beverage while it’s cold and refreshing.
Notes
- Swap regular milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that’s equally delicious and creamy.
- Boost nutritional value by adding a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for extra protein and omega-3s.
- Freeze leftover smoothie in popsicle molds for a refreshing autumn-inspired frozen treat that kids and adults will love.
- For a richer flavor, lightly toast pumpkin pie spice in a dry pan before adding to enhance its warm, aromatic qualities.
