Alternative milk choices affect flavor and nutritional content; choose based on dietary needs.
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
Adding banana or protein powder boosts the nutritional value and adds creaminess.
Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preference.
This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir before serving.
