Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup pure canned pumpkin puree (ensure it's not pumpkin pie filling)

1 ripe banana, frozen for creaminess

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (reserve some for garnish)

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free yogurt for a plant-based option)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition and texture)

A handful of ice cubes (optional, to create a colder, thicker smoothie)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, pumpkin puree, frozen banana, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds (if you choose to include them). Blend until the mixture is well combined.

    Add Ice, If Desired: If you enjoy a thicker and colder texture, toss in a handful of ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and evenly incorporated.

      Mix It Up: Blend on high speed until your smoothie reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Stop to check that there are no banana chunks left.

        Taste Test: Pause the blending process and taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a little more maple syrup and blend again until combined.

          Serve: Carefully pour the smoothie into two glasses, filling them evenly. For a lovely finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top of each glass.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately for a refreshing treat and soak in the cozy flavors of fall with your delightful pumpkin pie smoothie!
