Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor - avoid using pumpkin pie filling.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the milkshake colder for longer.
- For an extra creamy texture, use frozen yogurt cubes instead of regular ice.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a few extra ice cubes or freeze the pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like oat or coconut milk for varied flavor profiles.
- For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Adjust sweetness to taste - the beauty of this recipe is its flexibility!
