Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are fresh and ready to go—measure out your pumpkin puree, grab your milk, yogurt, spices, and sweetener, and have ice cubes nearby.
- Combine in the blender: Start by adding pumpkin puree, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and the warm spices into your blender. Pour in the vanilla extract last.
- Blend until smooth: Pulse the mixture, then blend continuously until you get a creamy, thick consistency without any lumps.
- Add ice and blend again: Toss in the ice cubes and blend once more to chill the smoothie perfectly and add a refreshing texture.
- Taste and adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste test—add more sweetener or spices if needed to hit your perfect balance.
- Serve immediately: Pour into your favorite glass and get ready to enjoy your comforting, flavorful Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree: Avoid flavored pumpkin pie fillings which often contain extra sugars and spices.
- Freeze banana slices instead of ice cubes for added natural sweetness and thicker texture.
- Freshly grind spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for the most vibrant flavor.
- Start with less sweetener and add more after tasting to avoid overpowering the pumpkin flavor.
- Blend in stages: blend base ingredients first, then add ice or frozen fruit for best texture.
