Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
Pumpkin season is HERE! While we’re all filling up on pies, coffees, and every other pumpkin goodie, why not channel all of those spiced pumpkin flavors into a breakfast smoothie?
Pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pecans, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice are just some of the cozy ingredients that are blended together to make this smoothie taste like fall in a cup. It’s a flavorful, filling, quick and easy breakfast smoothie that you’ll love waking up with on a fall morning!
How to Make a Pumpkin Smoothie
Plug in your blender, pulse the ingredients together, drink, and repeat all fall long. It’s that easy!
- Add all the wet ingredients to your blender.
- Then, add the bananas, pecans, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
- Blend until smooth or until a few pecan pieces remain.
- Serve immediately with a bit of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and chopped pecans for garnish if desired.
Tips and Variations
- Do not use pumpkin pie filling! Pumpkin pie filling is sweetened, so it’ll make your smoothie turn out super sweet. Make sure you’re only using pumpkin puree for this smoothie recipe.
- When choosing what maple syrup to buy for this recipe, we recommend finding a pure maple syrup. The thicker pancake syrup doesn’t bring as much real maple flavor to the smoothie as pure maple syrup does.
- Any milk works well here! You can use whole milk, skim milk, or even a plant based alternative like oat, soy, or almond milk. You can also swap the Greek yogurt for a plant based version to make this smoothie vegan.
- We recommend doing a taste test before adding any extra sprinkles of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
Storage
Storage: We don’t recommend storing a Pumpkin Smoothie. It doesn’t hold up well in the freezer, so be sure to enjoy it right away!
