Cooking Time

0 minutes

Yields

2 smoothies

Ingredients

  • 1 large banana sliced and frozen
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk Greek Yogurt (I used Kite Hill) - use any paleo friendly yogurt
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 medjool dates pitted, or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk add 1/2 cup for a thinner smoothie
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2-1 cup ice cubes optional
  • 1 scoop vanilla collagen protein or vegan vanilla protein, optional

for a smoothie bowl (makes 1 large):

  • Reduce the milk to 1/3 cup
  • Do not add ice

Directions

    1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender like a Vitamix and blend until smooth and creamy.
    2. For a regular smoothie, pour into glasses and top with a little cinnamon or coconut whipped cream to serve. For a smoothie bowl, pour into a bowl and add desired toppings like grain-free granola, pumpkin seeds, almond butter, sliced bananas, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

*For a smoothie bowl, top with grain-free granola, my homemade, or Purely Elizabeth pumpkin seeds, almond butter, and a little maple syrup.
