Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 medium banana, frozen (optional – omit for a low carb version)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients: pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, frozen banana if using, white chocolate hazelnut spread, Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add to Blender: Place all the ingredients into a blender. Start with the pumpkin puree, then add the banana, pumpkin pie spice, white chocolate hazelnut spread, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, usually about 30-60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well combined.

Notes
- Omit the banana to reduce carbs and make the smoothie lower in natural sugars.
- Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice quantity to taste for more or less warmth and spice.
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt.
- Use white chocolate hazelnut spread sparingly as it adds sweetness and richness.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any other plant-based milk or regular milk.
