What you need to make a vegan pumpkin pie smoothie…
- Bananas – frozen bananas give it sweetness and a creamy ice cream texture.
- Pumpkin Puree – for the pumpkin flavor. You can use any canned pumpkin that you like or mashed baked pumpkin.
- Sweetener – any sweetener you like will work like maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar, or just sugar. (optional)
- Plant-Based Milk – any plant-based milk will work. (If you are using the sweeter vanilla flavored milk, you may want to add less sugar).
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – to give it that authentic pumpkin pie flavor! If you don’t have this, you can use cinnamon with a shake of nutmeg instead.
How do I make a pumpkin pie smoothie?
- Simply put a frozen banana, a scoop of canned pumpkin puree, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, and your choice of milk in a blender.
- Turn the blender on for about 30 seconds until it’s well blended.
- Serve with vegan whipped cream on top! (optional)
Pro Tips:
- Use ripe bananas – the ones that have some brown spots. These will be naturally sweeter and you won’t need as much sweetener.
- Peel a bunch of ripe bananas and break them in half. Put them in a freezer bag and keep frozen until you are ready to use in smoothies.
- If using my vegan whipped cream to top your pumpkin pie smoothie, you can make it ahead and keep in the freezer as you would cool whip.

- The sweetness of your banana and choice of milk will change the amount of sweetener needed. (Start with 1 tbsp and taste to see if you want more).
- Pumpkin puree is a strong flavor and not very sweet, you will probably need some type of additional sweetener.
- Sugar, agave nectar, maple syrup, and coconut sugar all work well to sweeten the smoothie.
- Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a more filling meal.
I love anything pumpkin and this smoothie sounds really tasty. I’m thinking about using vanilla ice cream instead of milk that will make it a bit more thick like a shake. I can already taste it.
That sounds delicious! I’m sure that ice-cream will only make it more delicious!
This was delicious! I used almond milk and a super ripe banana, which allowed me to cut back a little on the sugar, and I’d have to say my craving for something pumpkin was satisfied!
Thanks Alissa! So happy to hear that you liked it! It never feels like fall until I’ve had my first pumpkin beverage! 🙂
Have you ever made this with a substitution for the banana? My digestive system does not tolerate them well.
Any idea would be welcome….sounds delicious!
Hi Christina, If you have a strong blender, you can freeze cubes of soft or silken tofu and use that in place of the banana. Hope that works for you! 🙂
