1. Gather all your measured ingredients on the counter: canned pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and ice cubes (if using).

2. Pour the unsweetened almond milk into your blender first.

3. Next, add the canned pumpkin puree and the plain Greek yogurt to the blender.

4. Add the maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.

5. Drop in the frozen banana slices and the optional ice cubes.

6. Secure the lid on your blender and start blending on a low setting, gradually increasing the speed to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of banana or ice. You might need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if ingredients get stuck.

7. Check the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a bit more frozen banana and blend until desired thickness is achieved.

8. Pour your perfectly blended pumpkin smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away!
