Step 1

Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, pitted dates, hemp hearts or collagen, and milk to a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend until the dates are totally pulverized. (If you don't have dates on hand, swap two tablespoons of maple syrup.) Taste the mixture to make sure you're happy with the flavor. You can add more spice or an extra date, if needed. The flavor will be diluted slightly with the next step, so keep that in mind.

Step 2

Once the mixture is smooth, add the ice and blend again until the smoothie has a slushier consistency. Don't add too much ice, or it could dilute the flavor.

Step 3

Serve this pumpkin smoothie right away for the best texture and flavor.
