I’ve been baking so many delicious pumpkin recipes lately (pumpkin spice donuts coming soon!) and this recipe is a great way to use up any leftover pumpkin purée you don’t want to go to waste. This smoothie has the creamiest texture with cozy, warm FALL flavors all easily made in just 5 minutes! I mean, what’s not to love??
Here’s What You’ll Need
- Pumpkin – I used canned pumpkin purée for this, just make sure you use 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling as that is loaded with tons of sugar
- Banana – I like to use one frozen ripe banana because it really gives this smoothie that creamy milkshake texture, but a
- Apple – it’s apple season too so I added one medium apple cut into chunks right in this smoothie. Not only does it add a little more sweetness, but tastes amazing with all these fall flavors!
- Greek yogurt – I used plain Greek yogurt, but feel free to to use a flavored yogurt for even more flavor or dairy-free yogurt
- Almond milk – this thins out the consistency to make this smoothie deliciously drinkable and any type of milk (or coconut milk) will work
- Maple syrup – naturally adds a little extra sweetness and tastes amazing with all these cozy fall flavors
- Vanilla extract – a delicious flavor boost
- Warm spices – a combination of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
I love morning smoothies and this one really couldn’t be any easier to make! Simply throw all the ingredients into a blender (I love THIS blender for making my smoothies) and mix until smooth and creamy! If your smoothie is too thick, you can easily add a little more milk, or even water, until you get the consistency you’re looking for. Garnish with fun toppings like whipped cream, homemade granola, cacao nibs, chopped nuts, chia seeds or even hemp seeds.
You could also add in some leafy green spinach to this for a boost of nutrition! I do want to note it won’t affect the taste of the smoothie, but it will change the color. When I make this smoothie for Emma I always add spinach and she loves it!
Can I Make This Smoothie Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can easily make this smoothie the night before and enjoy it first thing when you wake up in the morning
