FAQ
Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?
Yes, but frozen banana creates the thick, creamy texture. With fresh banana, add ice cubes to achieve proper consistency.
What if I don't have pumpkin pie spice?
Mix 1/4 tsp cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of ginger, and tiny pinch of cloves as a substitute.
How long will this smoothie keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered for up to 2 days, but texture and flavor are best when consumed immediately after blending.
