Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup dry rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 medium banana frozen
  • 2-3 pitted dates
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup ice

Garnish(Optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra cinnamon
  • Pumpkin seeds

Instructions
 

  • Add rolled oats to blender and pulse until they form a fine powder.
  • Pour in almond milk and pumpkin puree, blend until completely smooth and combined.
  • Add frozen banana, dates, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the blender.
  • Toss in chia seeds and ice cubes for thickness and cold temperature.
  • Blend on high speed until completely smooth with no chunks or grittiness.
  • Pour into glasses, garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired, serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freeze banana slices ahead of time for the creamiest, thickest smoothie texture without extra ice.
  • Adjust dates based on banana ripeness; very ripe bananas need less additional sweetening for taste.
  • Let smoothie rest 2-3 minutes after blending so oats absorb liquid and thicken to perfection.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling which contains unwanted sugars and pre-mixed spices.
  • Store leftovers in airtight container for 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation occurs.
