Note: You can also make this smoothie with fresh or roasted pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree. Simply roast or steam the fresh pumpkin, peel off the skin, and puree the flesh in a blender or food processor. You can also use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt, and cow's milk instead of of almond milk. For an extra boost of protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender. You can also sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the smoothie for an extra pop of flavor.
