Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee or chilled espresso
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk and the chilled cold brew coffee into your blender canister. Adding the liquids first helps the blender blades move freely and prevents the frozen ingredients from getting stuck at the bottom.
- Add the frozen banana chunks, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and your sweetener of choice to the blender. If you prefer an extra-cold, frosty texture, toss in a handful of ice cubes at this stage as well.
- Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks of banana or ice remain. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse again.
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top or add a dollop of coconut whipped cream. Enjoy it immediately while it is perfectly chilled.
