Like a taste of fall, this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is creamy, comforting and full of feel-good ingredients. Sweet, delicious, full of fiber and good for you beta-carotene that nourishes your skin, the largest organ of your body!

Feel free to add a handful of baby spinach for an added boost, and top with some pecans if you feel so inclined.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

This delicious smoothie is great for breakfast, dessert or as a clean and energizing pre or post workout snack.

With potassium from the bananas, iron, other minerals, natural fiber and sweetness from the dates, pumpkin, and flaxseeds, you have yourself a beautiful, nutritious, feel-good boost in a glass.

TRY A FEW MORE PUMPKIN RECIPES TO SATISFY YOUR TASTE BUDS:

  • Pumpkin Chia Pudding
  • Pumpkin Pancakes
  • Pumpkin Hummus

The spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg are not only delicious, but they are beautiful spices that nourish your brain health, are antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, detoxifies the liver and kidneys, and overall immune strengthening.

Learn more about these spices in my NEW article, Jumpstart Your Fall with Healthy Warming Spices. I’ve also included some seasonal recipe favorites.

Any non-dairy milk will do. Homemade is best. It is made without adding those thickening agents or stabilizers as commercial brands do.

To make your own nut or oat milk, simply soak your nuts, seeds or oats overnight, and blend with a dash of sweetener (maple syrup or 2 dates) and a pinch of sea salt.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Like a taste of fall, this pumpkin pie smoothie is creamy yet full of fiber and good for you beta carotene.
Prep Time5 mins
Total Time5 mins
Servings: 2 people

Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • High-Speed Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk any will do
  • 2 medium bananas peeled cut into 4ths and frozen
  • 2 Medjool dates pitted
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree from canned or fresh
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • ¼ tsp Ceylon cinnamon*
  • 2 Tbl ground flaxseeds
  • ½-1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or use 1/4 tsp ground ginger and nutmeg with 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender.
  • Process on high until smooth and creamy, adding more liquid to the consistency you desire.

Notes

*I recommend using Ceylon cinnamon, which has a sweeter, more delicate flavor, because the most common cinnamon, cassia, contains coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that may be toxic to the liver at doses of 1 teaspoon per day for adults and 1/4 teaspoon for children a few times a week. See reference from nutritionfacts.org.

    Can you taste the bananas at all in this? It sounds so good but I have a strong aversion to the smell and taste of bananas :/ or could I substitute them for something?

      Yes, you can probably taste the banana especially if you’re sensitive to it. Because banana is a little more neutral than other fruit, it was my first choice, but you could use ice or soy yogurt as a replacement. Adding other fruit, such as strawberries will change the flavor more, but it might be delicious. I’m always open to trying different combos!

      Hi Rene and thanks for your question and your comment about the website. It always warms my heart to hear potitive feedback! I always take a look at the nutrition info when someone has a question about it. In this case, everything looked good. I removed the bananas and it took the sugars down to 13.6g so it looks like those are what’s bringing the sugar up. If you like, you can try it with 1 banana (the recipe is meant for two servings, btw) or substitute another fruit. I looked at the nutrition with one medium bartlett pear and the sugar was 22.2. Even strawberries and blueberries were in the 20s.

      I do have other smoothies with more veggies and those, most likely, won’t be as high in sugar. You could always add a few more greens or a carrot, for example to this recipe. Are you concerned about the sugar for health reasons? From what I know, fruit sugars are not supposed to affect blood sugar as much, but, of course, every person is different. I hope that helps.
