Notes

Tips

Use a frozen ripe banana for a thicker, creamier smoothie without needing as much ice.
If using canned pumpkin, make sure you use plain pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey depending on the sweetness of your banana and your personal preference.

Substitutions

Use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk, such as almond or oat milk.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use a combination of ground cinnamon and nutmeg instead.
You can use maple syrup and honey interchangeably, depending on your preference.
