Smoothie Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut, etc.)
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and optional cloves)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 2 frozen bananas, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup plant-based milk, and 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
- Blend Smoothie: Add the plant-based milk and pumpkin puree to your blender first, then add the frozen bananas and pumpkin pie spice. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust spices or sweetness if desired by adding more pumpkin pie spice or a natural sweetener like maple syrup.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use super ripe bananas for natural sweetness and freeze them beforehand for a thick, creamy texture.
- When blending, place liquids and soft ingredients near the blades first, followed by the frozen bananas for optimal blending.
- Adjust the thickness of the smoothie by varying the amount of plant milk: use less for a thicker smoothie or more for a thinner drink.
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of cloves if preferred.
- Add a sweetener like maple syrup or honey if you want it sweeter, but often ripe bananas provide enough sweetness.
