  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the almond milk, frozen banana, canned pumpkin, protein powder, almond butter, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of choice such as oat milk, soy milk, or cow’s milk.
  • Ensure the banana is sliced and frozen beforehand to give the shake a creamy and chilled consistency.
  • Use a good quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
  • The optional graham cracker garnish adds a nice crunch but can be omitted for a simpler shake.
  • Adjust the amount of ice cubes based on your preferred thickness and temperature.
