Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Measure out pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and ice cubes so everything is ready to blend.
- Blend the base ingredients: Combine pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add ice and blend again: Add ice cubes and blend for another 30 seconds to chill the smoothie and achieve a thick, refreshingly cold texture.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more maple syrup for sweetness or extra pumpkin pie spice if a bolder flavor is desired. Blend briefly again if adjustments are made.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into your preferred glass and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for consistent flavor and texture.
- Optional: Add frozen banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
- Freshly grate nutmeg instead of using pre-ground for a more aromatic spice flavor.
- Adjust almond milk quantity to control smoothie thickness.
- Blend thoroughly to ensure smooth texture, especially when using spices.
