Dear Pumpkin Pie Smoothie…why are you so yummy?!

It’s nothing more than pumpkin puree, frozen bananas, greek yogurt and a few other simple ingredients blitzed in the blender for a minute but yet it’s something oh so magical!

It’s creamy, protein and nutrition packed, customizable and totally the Fall accessory your hand needs all Autumn long.

The cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice tie the smoothie together really making it seem like you’re enjoying pumpkin pie in a glass. Is there anything better?!

Ingredient Notes

8 simple ingredients is all you need for this nutritious smoothie!

ingredients portioned out into small bowls on a wooden board
  • Pumpkin Puree:  Be sure to use 100% canned pumpkin, and not the pumpkin pie mix. Pumpkin is a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C!
  • Frozen Ripe Banana: helps to sweeten the smoothie, make it creamy and a great way add flavor and volume.
  • Greek yogurt: We love to use a plain, full fat Greek yogurt. Makes it creamy and adds in a boost of protein. Feel free to use a dairy-free yogurt if needed.
  • Orange juice: Orange and pumpkin are two orange foods that work really well together! The citrus brightens the pumpkins earthiness and enhance its sweetness.
  • Evaporated Milk: We love the flavor evaporated milk gives this smoothie, but feel free to use almond milk, coconut milk, regular cows milk, or any milk you prefer.
  • Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice: essential to bring out the pumpkin pie flavor!
  • Honey: a touch of honey to add some sweetness (optional)

Step by Step Directions

Smoothie making couldn’t be easier and this recipe will keep you energized and full all morning long.

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Taste and adjust ingredients if needed to make thicker or thinner.
  4. Pour into a glass, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pecans.

Smoothie tip: smoothies need a perfect blend of liquid and solid ingredients to achieve the right texture. I like a thick smoothie! If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more milk.

Tips and variations

  • Add in nutritional boosters like ground flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds or a scoop of your favorite protein powder!
  • Add in veggies if you’d like: a handful of spinach or frozen cauliflower would be perfect additions.
  • Adjust your smoothie: add more liquid if you prefer it more on the thinner side or add more frozen bananas to thicken it up!
  • Taste and adjust: add more honey or maple syrup if you feel like it needs to be sweeter.
  • Use frozen ripe bananas: using frozen ripe bananas will help give the smoothie the perfect amount of natural sweetness.
