Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. For toppings, prepare granola, walnuts, and coconut flakes.
- In a blender, add the canned pumpkin puree, banana, almond milk, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup. Make sure the banana is peeled and broken into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie base and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more maple syrup, depending on your preference.
- Pour the smoothie mixture evenly into two bowls. Use a spatula to scrape out all the deliciousness from the blender.
- Now, it's time to add your toppings. Start by sprinkling granola over the top of each smoothie bowl for crunch.
- Add a handful of walnuts to each bowl for added texture and healthy fats.
- Finally, sprinkle coconut flakes on top for a tropical touch and extra flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl!
