Tips

Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree.
If using fresh pumpkin, roast or steam it. Then puree it in a blender.
You can add banana, mango, apple, or avocado. This gives the smoothie a creamy and dense consistency.
Freeze fruit for at least a few hours before adding it to smoothies. Slice the fruit before freezing. Then freeze on a parchment-lined tray. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag. This gives the smoothie a more dense and creamy consistency.
Add a liquid base such as almond milk, coconut milk, or apple juice.
Adjust the sweetness. You can add more or less sweetener to the smoothie according to your taste.
Use natural sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, or dates.
Add ice to the mix to make the smoothie more liquid. Skip this step if you want a thick and creamy texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add more juice, milk, or ice. If it's too watery, add more frozen fruit.
Use ice and/or frozen fruit to make cold smoothies.
Add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.
You can increase the amount of protein by adding ingredients such as strained yogurt, cashew butter, chia seeds, or vanilla protein powder to the recipe.
When making smoothies, first put the liquid and hard ingredients in the blender. Then add fruit and an optional sweetener.
