This Pumpkin Spice Banana Protein Smoothie is simple fall comfort in a glass. The pumpkin makes it creamy and earthy, the banana keeps it naturally sweet, and the warm spices bring that cozy, seasonal kick. Blended with PlantFusion protein, it turns into something you can lean on — quick fuel for mornings, an easy post-workout reset, or a satisfying afternoon pick-me-up that tastes like pumpkin pie without the sugar crash.
Ingredients:
-
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 scoop PlantFusion Complete Protein (Vanilla Bean or Chai)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional for creaminess)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Ice, as needed for thickness
- Blend: Add banana, pumpkin puree, PlantFusion protein, almond milk, almond butter, spices, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust: Add ice if you prefer it thicker, or more almond milk if you like it lighter. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- Serve: Pour into a tall glass, sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon, and enjoy immediately.
Storage + Serving Tips
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
- Serving: Top with whipped coconut cream, granola, or a drizzle of almond butter for a more indulgent smoothie bowl vibe.
- Pro Tip: Freeze pumpkin puree in ice cube trays to make blending even creamier.
