Notes
Different Milk: Use your favorite milk and what you have on hand!
Make Ahead Instructions: You can make this ahead of time and store in your fridge for 1-2 days. Or try freezing it! You can pour the smoothie into an ice cube tray and then when ready to enjoy pop the pumpkin ice cubes into a glass with a lid (like a mason jar) and let it sit in your fridge for an hour until they've melted. And just give it a shake!
Use Frozen Fruit. You can use a fresh banana, but frozen fruit helps to make a smooth, creamy smoothie in the end. So frozen is best if you have it!
Don't Skip The Nut Butter. Yes it adds great flavor, but also it's a nutritious way to thicken your smoothie.
Blend On Low At First. This will depend on your blender and how powerful it is. But it might help to start blending on low at first, then turn it on high to help blend the ingredients more efficiently and quickly.
