Step 1
Scoop the pumpkin puree into a resealable bag and pop it in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can. When you’re ready, take the pumpkin out and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes so it softens up a bit. Pour the milk into your blender, then add the pumpkin, banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth, which should take around 3 minutes. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Storage & leftovers
Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as natural separation may occur. Avoid freezing after blending, as the texture may change.
