Packed with nutrients, this healthy, yet delicious smoothie will power you through the morning. It even work as a healthy dessert!
Why this recipe works…

- Pumpkin spice is always a hit!
- It’s vegan, gluten free, and can be made soy free too!
- Pumpkin pie smoothies can be whipped up in minutes instead of hours like a pumpkin pie!
- They taste like fall!

How do I make a pumpkin pie smoothie?
- Simply put a frozen banana, scoop of canned pumpkin puree, 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)
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.

November 24, 2018 at 4:18 pmI 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.

September 12, 2018 at 2:08 pmThis 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!

September 8, 2018 at 9:14 amHave 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!

September 8, 2018 at 7:22 pmHi 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! 🙂
