Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.

  5. Finish with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice on top for an extra festive touch.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the autumn flavors!

Helpful Tips

For a thicker smoothie bowl, use less milk or add an extra frozen banana. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. For added protein, consider incorporating a scoop of your favorite protein powder into the blend.

Storage Instructions

This Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Bowl is best enjoyed immediately. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir before eating as it may thicken upon standing.

Pairings

This smoothie bowl pairs beautifully with a cup of hot spiced chai or a latte. For a heartier meal, serve alongside whole grain toast with almond butter or a generous spread of honey and nuts.
