Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the canned pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well incorporated.

    Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk, blending until you reach your desired consistency. The smoothie should be thick enough to support your toppings but still blendable.

      Prepare the Bowls: Once the smoothie base is ready, divide it evenly into two serving bowls.

        Add Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Start by adding a scoop of granola in the center, followed by a sprinkle of chopped nuts, some slices of banana, a handful of shredded coconut, and a scattering of pumpkin seeds. Finish with a drizzle of honey or additional maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
