INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk (any type you prefer)
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
  • Sprinkles or crushed graham crackers (for garnish, optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and measure them out for easy blending.
  2. Banana Base: Start by peeling the ripe banana and breaking it into chunks. Place the banana chunks in the blender.
  3. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Add the canned pumpkin puree to the blender with the banana. Then, add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger for that classic pumpkin pie spice flavor.
  4. Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Spoon in the Greek yogurt, which will add creaminess and a slight tang to the smoothie.
  5. Include Rolled Oats: Add the rolled oats for texture and a touch of heartiness.
  6. Sweeten with Honey: Pour in the honey for sweetness. You can adjust the amount to your taste preferences.
  7. Pour in Milk: Add the milk of your choice. This can be dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other milk substitute you prefer.
  8. Enhance with Vanilla Extract: Drizzle in the vanilla extract for a hint of extra flavor
  9. Optional Ice Cubes: If you want a colder and thicker smoothie, toss in a handful of ice cubes.
  10. Blend It Up: Secure the blender lid and blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  11. Taste Test: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or spice level as desired. You can add more honey or spices at this point.
  12. Serve and Garnish: Pour the Halloween pumpkin smoothie into glasses. If you want to go all out, top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle some Halloween-themed sprinkles or crushed graham crackers on top for added festivity.
  13. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Halloween pumpkin smoothie! It’s a delicious and nutritious treat for the season.

This spooky and delightful pumpkin smoothie is perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit. You can even add a plastic spider or candy eyeballs as a fun garnish for extra creepiness!
