Ingredients
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 Medjool dates, pitted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, almond butter, ground flaxseed, dates, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust—add more cinnamon, another date for sweetness, or more milk if too thick.
Pour into a glass. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Enjoy immediately, or pour into a jar with a lid to take with you.

Store leftover pumpkin puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze in ice cube trays.
