¼ - ½cupunsweetened almond milk
2-4tablespoonsreal maple syrup
½teaspoonpumpkin pie spice
¼teaspoonground cinnamon

Instructions
Blend: In a high-speed blender, add 1 frozen banana, ⅔ cup pumpkin puree, ½ cup dairy-free plain yogurt, ¼ - ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, 2-4 tablespoons real maple syrup, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a handful of ice cubes. 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.
Serve: 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.
