1/2cupdairy-free plain yogurtvanilla works too
2/3cuppumpkin puree
1/4-1/2cupunsweetened almond milk
2-4tablespoonsreal maple syrup
1/4teaspooncinnamon
1/2teaspoonpumpkin pie spice
handful of ice cubes
toppings: reg. or dairy-free whipped creamcinnamon stick
Instructions
Add ingredients to high-speed blender (note: I would recommend starting with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and then add more after you taste it).
Blend on HIGH, stopping to scrape down the sides as-needed.
Pour into a glass and enjoy! Feel free to top with whipped cream (reg. or dairy-free) and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
Notes
Ice Cubes: if you plan ahead I recommend actually freezing the pumpkin puree overnight in ice cube trays - then you can probably skip the handful of ice cubes!
Thicken: to thicken add a little more frozen banana, yogurt or some more ice cubes.
Thin: to thin add another splash of unsweetened almond milk.
Toppings: feel free to top with dairy-free whipped almond milk or coconut milk.
Add-ins: feel free to add in chia seeds, ground flax, protein powder (plant-based or otherwise) or collagen.
