Notes
Kylee's Notes
Pumpkin puree can be found in most grocery stores year round. It is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Adding 1/2 cup ice cubes to the blender will get you a frappuccino like consistency - yum! Use a frozen banana if you like things icy cold! Substitutions/Additions Milk. You can use oat milk, almond milk, soy milk or any dairy free milk you enjoy if you prefer. If you don't have or like vanilla protein powder, you can easily just bump it up with some dry milk powder, or leave it out altogether. You can always add a little vanilla extract to get the vanilla flavor. Vanilla yogurt also works. Plain yogurt is good too, especially greek yogurt as it adds Experiment with different types of apples. I like gala, but for a more tart flavor, use a granny smith apple Maple syrup is a good substitute for honey and adds a great Fall flavor to the smoothie. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, make your own! Or simply add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.Nutrition
