Equipment

  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

  • cups almond or coconut milk
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 banana sliced and frozen (optional)
  • 2 scoops NOW® Sports Vanilla Protein Powder Whey or plant based
  • 2 tsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 6-8 ice cubes
  • roasted pumpkin seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the milk, pumpkin, banana, protein powder, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice ingredients to your blender. Top with ice cubes and cover (add the milk to the blender cup first to prevent the other ingredients from sticking).
  • Blend ingredients on high for 1-2 minutes. If chunks remain of ingredients are stuck, unplug your blender, open and stir the smoothie mixture (watch the blade), add a splash of additional milk, and cover and re-blend for another 30 seconds.
  • Pour the pumpkin pie smoothie mixture into a mason jar glass. To garnish, dust the tops with more pumpkin pie spice and sprinkle the roasted pumpkin seeds on top.
