Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large frozen bananas, chunked
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons cashew butter (or almond/sunflower seed butter)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2–3 tablespoons almond milk (as needed)
- Toppings: granola, chopped nuts, fresh fruit slices, pepitas
Instructions
- Add frozen bananas and pumpkin puree to a high-powered blender.
- Add cashew butter, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 60 seconds.
- If too thick, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until soft-serve consistency is reached.
- Spoon into bowls and top with granola, nuts, fruit, and pepitas.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
Always use frozen bananas for thick consistency. Add almond milk gradually to avoid thinning. This recipe does not store well once blended—make fresh for best results. Pre-portion ingredients in freezer bags for quick morning prep.
