Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 small frozen ripe banana
- 1/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 1 large handful organic spinach
- 3/4 cup dairy-free milk (light coconut milk or plain unsweetened almond milk preferred)
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 Tbsp plain or vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen banana, pumpkin purée, spinach, dairy-free milk, pumpkin pie spice, and protein powder into a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Adjust Consistency and Flavor: If the smoothie is too thick, add more dairy-free milk to reach your desired consistency. Taste the smoothie and add more pumpkin pie spice for a stronger pumpkin flavor, more banana or vanilla protein powder for sweetness, or optionally a small amount of maple syrup, agave, or stevia extract if preferred.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- Storage: If needed, store the smoothie covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, stirring before serving.
