Ingredient Notes
Pumpkin purée: You can use either store bought canned pumpkin puree or your own homemade version. Note that this is not pumpkin pie filling.Greek yogurt: I tend to use plain greek yogurt but you can use a flavoured one or dairy free yogurt if you prefer. If you use a thinner yogurt you may want to use less milk.Milk: I use plain whole milk but you can use dairy free milk like almond milk or coconut milk to your taste. Banana: use frozen banana to sweeten and thicken the smoothie (which means you avoid watering down the smoothie with ice). Pumpkin pie spice: For ease you can use a store bought or homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice blend. Alternatively you can use any combination of spices that make the blend such as cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and cloves etc. Sweetener – Use maple syrup or honey to your taste. You can add a little more if you want this sweeter.
