- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 frozen banana for natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt use coconut yogurt for dairy-free option
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon extra for that warming kick
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s
- 8-10 ice cubes
- 1 pinch sea salt enhances the flavors
Add pumpkin puree, frozen banana, and almond milk to your blender. The frozen banana creates that creamy ice-cream-like texture without adding extra calories.
Add Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and all spices to the blender. Don't skip the pinch of salt—it enhances the sweetness perception without adding extra sugar.
Sprinkle in chia seeds if using. These tiny powerhouses pack fiber and provide plant-based omega-3 fatty acids that support brain health.
Add ice cubes and blend everything on high speed until perfectly smooth, about 45-60 seconds. For the silkiest texture, start your blender on low and gradually increase to high speed.
Taste and adjust as needed. Need more sweetness? Add a touch more maple syrup. Want more spice? A dash more cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Prefer it thinner? Add a splash more almond milk.
Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Optional: top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of coconut whipped cream, and a few crushed pecans for contrasting texture.
Substitution Notes:
- For extra protein: Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
- Dairy-free option: Replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt
- Lower sugar option: Use ½ frozen banana and add a few drops of stevia
- Nut-free variation: Use oat milk or coconut milk instead of almond milk
