Notes
Recipe Notes
- Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Peel and slice the banana before freezing for easier blending.
- The honey is optional. Taste the smoothie first because the ripeness of the banana will affect the sweetness.
- For a thicker smoothie, freeze portions of pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray before blending.
- For additional protein, a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder can be added, but additional liquid may be needed.
- The smoothie is best served immediately after blending.
