Ingredients
1 frozen banana for a cold and thick base that adds natural sweetness
1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (whole milk preferred; dairy-free alternatives can be used) to boost protein and creaminess
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (homemade or canned) provides the star flavor and a rich dose of vitamins
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (regular milk or coconut milk can be substituted) acts as the liquid base for smooth blending
1 tablespoon almond or pecan butter (peanut butter can also be used for nutty sweetness and healthy fats) adds richness and extra nutrition
1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor with a warm, aromatic touch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon delivers that signature spice for autumn vibes
A pinch each of nutmeg, ginger, and allspice (or substitute these spices with about 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice) for a balanced, pie-like spice blend
Instructions
1-Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. Measure out the pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, nut butter, vanilla extract, and spices so everything is ready to go.
2-Place the pumpkin puree, frozen banana, and Greek or plant-based yogurt into a blender. This creates the creamy base that mimics pumpkin pie.
3-Add the pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and vanilla extract to the blender for that authentic flavor boost.
4-Pour in the almond milk or your preferred substitute to help blend everything smoothly and achieve the right texture.
5-Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If itβs too thick, add a bit more liquid; taste and adjust as needed.
6-Once blended, pour into a glass and serve immediately. For added fun, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
