Ingredient Notes

• Pumpkin purée:  You can use either store bought canned pumpkin puree or your own homemade version. Note that this is not pumpkin pie filling.
• Greek yogurt:  I tend to use plain greek yogurt but you can use a flavoured one or dairy free yogurt if you prefer. If you use a thinner yogurt you may want to use less milk.
• Milk:  I use plain whole milk but you can use dairy free milk like almond milk or coconut milk to your taste.
• Banana: use frozen banana to add natural sweetness and thicken the smoothie (which means you avoid watering down the smoothie with ice).
• Pumpkin pie spice:  For ease you can use a store bought or homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice blend. Alternatively you can use any combination of spices that make the blend such as cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and cloves etc.
• Sweetener – Use a little maple syrup or honey to your taste. You can add a little more if you want this sweeter.

Recipe Tips And Delicious Variations

• If your banana is not frozen, then add in a few ice cubes before blending.
• For the best blending results make sure the liquid is at the base of the blender
• Add more or less milk to make smoothie thinner or thicker, as needed.
• Using frozen banana means your smoothie will be thicker and cold.
• Make sure to only use a ripe banana – this is best for sweetness and easy blending.
• Use a high powered blender if starting with frozen bananas or ice cubes.
• If you want to keep it as a Healthy Pumpkin Pie smoothie, then skip the whipped cream.
• Vary the vegetable – feel free to use sweet potato purée or even buttnernut squash purée instead. Also you can add extra pumpkin to your taste.

• Vary the yogurt – other options include vanilla yogurt , vanilla greek yogurt or coconut yogurt.
• Vary the milk – feel free to use non dairy milk if you prefer.
• Add extra flavor – a dash of vanilla extract will really complement the pumpkin pie spices.
• Add greens – add fresh or frozen spinach or spinach powder.
• Add more protein – like nut butters like pecan butter and almond butter.
• Optional add ins – include chia seeds and hemp seeds and your favorite protein powder. We like vanilla protein powder.

Storage

• Chill – Store covered in plastic wrap for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
• Freeze in Bags – Freeze the unblended ingredients in the right portion sizes in freezer bags for up to 3 months. Blend straight from frozen.
• Freeze in Jars – Freeze the blended smoothie in mason jars (with a little space at the top to allow for expansion). Let it thaw in the refrigerator, and mix in a little milk if needed before serving.
• Also do freeze leftover pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray and store for when needed.
