  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and add them to your blender: pumpkin purée, vanilla yogurt, milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  2. Add any optional ingredients if desired, such as frozen banana, almond butter, protein powder, or ice.
  3. Blend everything on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and velvety.
  4. Taste and adjust as needed - add more maple syrup for sweetness, extra milk to thin, or ice to thicken.
  5. Pour into glasses and serve immediately while chilled.
  6. For a decorative touch, dust with extra cinnamon or add a cinnamon stick as a stirrer.

Notes

For a festive presentation, try rimming glasses with maple syrup and orange sanding sugar, then add candy eyes for a jack-o'-lantern effect. This smoothie can be made dairy-free by using coconut yogurt and plant milk. For a nutrient boost, add a handful of spinach - the pumpkin flavor will mask the taste. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it's best enjoyed fresh.
