Tips

  • To make the smoothie taste like a latte, replace half of the milk with leftover coffee or add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee to the blender.
  • If the pumpkin flavor of the vegan version seems too intense, freeze a banana and add it to the smoothie.
  • Play around with your favorite flavors of ice cream and spices. Vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon are some excellent flavors you can incorporate in your smoothie.
  • If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, just add a pinch of cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, nutmeg powder and cloves to the smoothie.
  • For those who are diet-conscious, skip adding ice cream or use unsweetened pumpkin puree.
