1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup low fat no salt added cottage cheese*
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 packets stevia or sweetener of your choice
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (if you don't have this, you can just use cinnamon)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 handfuls of ice
optional add-ins:
1 scoop unsweetened vanilla protein powder
1-3 tsp chia seeds
*Cottage cheese is the secret ingredient to a super creamy smoothie. Even if you are not a fan, try it once and I bet you will never use yogurt in your smoothies again!
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Add more milk for a thinner smoothie. Add more ice for a thicker, more slushi-like smoothie.

This did not work out so well for me. The banana taste was a bit overpowering.
