Ingredients Needed
This pumpkin smoothie recipe is cold, creamy, and perfectly thick! If you keep canned pumpkin in your pantry, you may have everything to make one right now! Here’s everything you’ll need:
- Pumpkin: Used canned pumpkin puree or try making homemade pumpkin puree. It’s way easier than you might think!
- Bananas: We recommend sliced frozen ripe bananas to help sweeten the smoothie and create a creamy consistency.
- Milk: While the recipe calls for pumpkin spice almond milk or plain almond milk, you can use whatever kind of milk you prefer. You can even add in a tablespoon of pumpkin spice creamer if you’d like, which will add some extra sweetness to the smoothie.
- Greek Yogurt: I like vanilla greek yogurt in this because the vanilla flavor pairs nicely with the spices. Plain yogurt works great too!
- Ice: Adding in about 1/2 cup of ice cubes will keep the smoothie cold and make it nice and thick.
- Almond Butter: Optional, but I love the nuttiness that it adds. It also adds a bit of protein and healthy fats to make this smoothie filling. If you don’t have almond butter, try peanut butter.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, make homemade pumpkin spice! Or you can use the following: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and a pinch each of nutmeg, ginger & allspice.
Add More Nutrients
This pumpkin pie smoothie is plenty healthy as-is, but you can also boost the nutrition by adding any of the following ingredients:
- Ground Flaxseed: This will give your smoothie a boost of fiber, healthy fats and minerals. Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon.
- Chia Seeds: Similar to flaxseed, about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of chia seeds blended into your smoothie will add healthy fats, fiber and antioxidants.
- Protein Powder: As written, this pumpkin smoothie has 8 grams of protein. If you’d like to add more protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite vanilla flavored protein powder.
How to Make This Pumpkin Smoothie
This pumpkin smoothie recipe could not be easier! You’ll love whipping one up and enjoying the tasty flavors of fall.
- Blend: Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Served: Pour into two cups and enjoy immediately.
Tips and Variations
Smoothies are really simple to make but here are a few tips and variations that will help you make it just right!
- For a Thicker Smoothie: To make your pumpkin smoothie plenty thick, make sure that you are adding in frozen fruit, in this case bananas. This helps it gain that thick texture!
- Pumpkin Pie Filling: It’s important to use pure pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling. The pumpkin pie filling contains sugar and spices.
- Pumpkin Puree: Use homemade or canned. You can even use a heaping 1/2 cup of cubed, frozen pumpkin as long as it is already cooked.
- Sweetener: This smoothie has some sweetness to it, but it’s not overly sweet. If you would like it to be sweeter, try adding 2 tablespoons of honey or pure maple syrup.
How Long Will My Pumpkin Smoothie Last?
As with all smoothies, this is best enjoyed as soon as it is made. It does not store well at all.
