Step 1: Prep Ingredients
- Gather all the ingredients and measure them out. If you're using a frozen banana, let it soften slightly (or cut it into chunks for easier blending). Make sure your pumpkin puree is cold for a chilled smoothie.
Step 2: Layer Ingredients in Blender
- Add the ingredients to your blender in this order for smooth blending: Pumpkin puree, Frozen yogurt (or Greek yogurt), Almond milk, Banana (if you're using it), Protein powder, pumpkin spice, and sweeteners, Ice cubes last to help cool and thicken.
Step 3: Blend to Perfection
- Blend on high for about 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop halfway to scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
- After blending, taste your smoothie. Add more pumpkin spice or sweetener if desired. If it's too thick, you can pour in a splash more almond milk.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Pour into a tall glass or your favorite mug, and garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an extra fall flare. Insert a straw, and enjoy your creation!
