Hello Fall! Time for Pumpkin Smoothie Harvest... that is HEALTHY:)
You will need:
Pumpkin puree: Choose real pumpkin purée with no added sugar or spices. Pumpkin pie filling already contains sweetener and seasoning, so it will change the balance of this recipe. Organic pumpkin is fine, but it isn't essential.
Banana: A ripe banana gives the best sweetness. Using frozen banana makes a creamier drink without needing lots of ice cubes. Peel and slice it before freezing so it's easier to blend.
Non-dairy milk: Oat milk gives a mellow, creamy result, while unsweetened almond milk adds a light, nutty flavour. Use a milk you enjoy drinking, because its flavour will come through.
Pumpkin pie spice: This spice blend usually contains cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and sometimes allspice. It gives the smoothie its familiar pumpkin spice flavours. The recipe also allows cinnamon and nutmeg if that's what you have.
Maple syrup: Its caramel-like flavour works well with pumpkin. It still counts as added sugar, so adjust it to your personal preference and the sweetness of your banana.
Optional extras: Ice makes the drink colder, and vegan whipped cream gives it a dessert-style finish.
