Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the almond milk, pumpkin puree, banana, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, pure maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and ice.

Notes
- You can substitute the almond milk for any dairy or non-dairy milk based on preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet smoothie.
- Protein powder is optional but adds extra satiety and nutrition; choose vanilla flavor for the best taste.
- For a colder smoothie, add more ice or use frozen banana slices.
- To keep it vegan, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder, and skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free version.
