Ingredients For Pumpkin Cheesecake Smoothie
Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess without the need for added sugar. Use a ripe banana for the best flavor and texture.
Pumpkin Puree: Not to be mistaken for pumpkin pie filling, pumpkin puree adds such an amazing flavor to this smoothie. It makes the flavor of this smoothie pop with flavor and not drowning in an artificial pumpkin taste. Here's how to make your own Homemade Pumpkin Puree.
Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds a subtle tang while still letting all the other flavors blend together. Also an added bonus is that it adds some protein.
Protein Powder: A good protein powder brings a protein smoothie to the next level. I use Cleanish's Vanilla Protein Powder.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1: In a blender, add the the unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, pumpkin puree, plain greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, pure maple syrup, ground nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, ground ginger, and a scoop of protein powder.
Step 2: Blend until smooth, add more ice (to create a more thick smoothie) or milk (to create a thinner smoothie) to your liking.
