Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen pumpkin purée preferably chilled or slightly thawed
  • 2 ripe banana for creaminess and mellowing spices
  • 1 cup milk use cold or room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg firmly packed for depth of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for added sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen pumpkin purée, banana, and milk into your blender.
  2. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and nutmeg, then add the honey or maple syrup if using.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and velvety, about 30-45 seconds. Listen for a consistent, gentle hum and watch the ingredients whirl into a creamy texture.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly to loosen it.
  5. Pour the smoothie into glasses, revealing its vibrant orange color and inviting aroma.
  6. Finish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra aroma and visual appeal.

Notes

For a thicker texture, freeze the pumpkin purée in ice cube trays before blending. Adjust sweetness and spice levels to your preference. Serve immediately for best flavor and chill.
