*This quantity of ingredients is for 2 smaller or 1 large smoothie. Since this pumpkin pie smoothie is pretty rich, we prefer to serve it in smaller portions. If you use a lighter milk option, it won't be quite as rich.

Smoothie bowl version: To make this into a smoothie bowl, you'll need to cut back on the liquid, or increase the amount of frozen banana. Cut the liquid in half for a thicker, creamier texture that holds up well to toppings, like our pumpkin spice granola. 

Let the frozen banana thaw slightly. If you try to blend it straight from the freezer, your blender may have trouble blending the banana. We usually let it thaw for a few minutes, or even microwave for 15-20 seconds quickly before adding to the blender. It also helps to cut the banana into smaller pieces.

Storage: This smoothie is best consumed within a few hours, but if necessary can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. We suggest blending again before consuming. You can also add more frozen banana if needed.

Maple syrup: For a sugar free option, leave it out completely. Or, sub with our pumpkin spice simple syrup for extra flavor. 

Banana: It's essential to use frozen banana, otherwise your smoothie won't be cold and won't have a thick, creamy texture.
