- For a creamier smoothie, add the milk in small amounts while blending. Also, you can omit some ice.
- Customize the flavor by adjusting the amount of pumpkin pie spice or adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves.

Recipe FAQS
Yes, substitute the almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, or any other tasty nut butters you enjoy.
Yes, add protein powder for an extra protein boost! I recommend using vanilla protein powder for the best flavors to come out since there is no vanilla extract added. Adding plain Greek yogurt is a great way to incorporate more protein and make the smoothie creamy all at once.
