Description
This creamy pumpkin chai smoothie blends cozy fall spices with pumpkin puree, banana, almond milk, and pecans for a nourishing, naturally sweetened treat that tastes like autumn in a glass.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond milk
- 1 banana
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoon chopped pecans
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of cardamom powder
- Pinch of ginger powder or ¼ inch fresh ginger
- 1 date, pitted (optional)
- Ice
Instructions
1. Prepare Ingredients – Peel and freeze your banana ahead of time if you like thicker smoothies. Measure out all ingredients so they’re ready to go.
2. Add to Blender – In a high-speed blender, add almond milk, banana, pumpkin puree, pecans, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, date (if using), and ice.
3. Blend Until Smooth – Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until creamy and no chunks remain. Adjust thickness by adding more milk (for thinner) or more ice (for thicker).
4. Taste & Adjust – Give it a taste and add an extra pinch of cinnamon or ginger if you’d like it spicier.
5. Serve Immediately – Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and sip your fall-inspired treat.
Notes
Freeze bananas in advance for creamier texture.
Add protein powder for a post-workout boost.
Use oat milk for extra creaminess.
Top with crushed pecans and cinnamon for a beautiful garnish.
