Additional

- Add Flavor and Sweetness: Sprinkle in ground cinnamon and honey for that classic pumpkin pie flavor and natural sweetness.
- Incorporate Ice Gradually: Start blending with a few ice cubes, then slowly add more (up to 6-10 ice cubes) until the preferred consistency is achieved.

Notes
- Use frozen banana for a naturally creamy texture and chilled smoothie without watering it down.
- Adjust honey to your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Almond milk is a suitable dairy-free substitute for skim milk.
- Adding more ice cubes will make the smoothie thicker; feel free to adjust to your consistency preference.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh; however, it can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours and stirred well before drinking.
