Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 banana
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 1/2 banana, 1 tablespoon almond butter, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1 cup ice.
- In a blender, add the pumpkin puree. This will serve as the base of your smoothie and provide a rich, creamy texture.
- Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk. This will add a tropical flavor and creaminess to your smoothie without added sugars.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. Add the banana to the blender. It will naturally sweeten the smoothie and enhance its texture.
- Add the almond butter to the mixture. This will introduce a nutty flavor and healthy fats to keep you full.
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds. These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients and will help thicken the smoothie.
- Measure out 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and add it to the blender. This spice blend will give your smoothie a warm, autumnal flavor.
- Add the ice to the blender to ensure your smoothie is refreshingly cold and has a nice, thick consistency.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are smooth and well combined. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to taste, and blend again briefly.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a dash of pumpkin pie spice on top for presentation.
- Enjoy your Nutty Coconut Pumpkin Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Tips
