- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions

- Add more milk to thin out if it’s too thick or add a couple more ice cubes for a thicker texture if desired. Taste, then add more spices if desired.
Notes
We usually use 0% vanilla Greek yogurt in this recipe. Feel free to use regular (non-Greek) vanilla or plain Greek yogurt instead. Instead of prepared pumpkin pie spice, try adding a small pinch each of ground nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger, and/or more cinnamon to taste. Or make a big batch of homemade pumpkin pie spice and measure 1/4 teaspoon from that. We usually use unsweetened almond milk. Any milk, dairy or nondairy, works.
