Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large banana, frozen
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Ground nutmeg for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
3. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if needed.
4. Pour the smoothie into glasses and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg for an extra festive touch.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Substitute the almond milk with any other plant-based milk like oat milk or soy milk for a different flavor profile.
• For a thicker smoothie, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
• Garnish the smoothie with a cinnamon stick or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added flair.
• This smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast or a nourishing afternoon snack.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving.
• If pumpkin puree is not available, you can use butternut squash puree as a substitute.
• For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt in place of vanilla yogurt.

Pairings and Complements

This Pumpkin Spice Smoothie pairs wonderfully with cinnamon rolls, oatmeal cookies, or a light and flaky croissant. Its warming spices also complement savory dishes like pumpkin soup or a classic grilled cheese sandwich.
