How to Make This Pumpkin Smoothie:

This pumpkin smoothie is ready in 5 minutes! The key is blending and texture. If the smoothie isn't thick enough, add ice cubes. Pumpkin pie spice blend adds nice warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg! The banana and chia seeds add thickness and fiber!

Simply transfer all of your ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth. Add ice cubes as needed to thicken. This smoothie can provide two small servings or one large smoothie.

How to Store It:

This protein pumpkin smoothie can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days. For freezing, transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container or storage bag, leaving a few inches of room; the liquid will expand once frozen. Freeze for up to three months.

Variations:

This pumpkin smoothie is for all of you PSL fans! If you do not have pumpkin puree on hand, try butternut squash puree.

Pumpkin pie spice blends can be made at home with dashes of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice or clove. Try making your own pumpkin pie spice blend.

This smoothie is vegan and gluten-free!

If you prefer a different milk source, try cow's milk or soy milk for more protein.

Protein powder is based on your preference, whether it is vegan or vegetarian. My favorite protein powder is by Sun Warrior.
