Smoothie 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 a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and optional cloves)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen bananas, pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, and pumpkin pie spice into a blender.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring the texture is well combined without chunks.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and adjust sweetness or spice levels according to your preference. Add sweetener if desired and blend again briefly.
Notes
- Use super ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor; freezing bananas gives the smoothie a thick and creamy texture.
- For efficient blending, add liquids and softer ingredients near the blades first, followed by the frozen bananas.
- Adjust consistency by reducing plant milk for a thicker smoothie bowl or increasing it for a thinner drinkable smoothie.
