About Pumpkin Pie Spice Smoothie
Fall is almost here and like every year, I will go crazy with my pumpkin recipes. I start by making a big batch of my homemade Pumpkin Puree and Pumpkin Pie Spice and use them in every possible way I can. Pumpkin Apple Soup and Pumpkin Pie Spice Smoothie are my favorite pumpkin recipes that I make every single year. This smoothie is super healthy, creamy, and delicious and is a great way to start your day. Although we all associate pumpkin recipes with fall, this pumpkin spice smoothie can be made anytime and served for breakfast, afternoon, or post-workout snacks. This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free. You can easily make it vegan, too. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled as per your need.

Ingredients
Pumpkin Puree – Make it at home using my homemade Pumpkin Puree recipe, or buy it out. This healthy pumpkin pie smoothie recipe is a delicious way to use leftover pumpkin puree. Banana – Ripe banana adds a creamy texture and sweetness to the smoothie. Make sure to freeze the bananas a few hours ahead for the best texture. Yogurt – I like to use plain Greek Yogurt as it has more protein content and is thicker. But you can use whichever is easily available. Vanilla Greek yogurt, plain yogurt, or vanilla yogurt also works fine. Milk – I use whole milk in my smoothies for a creamy texture but you can use skim, low-fat, or plant-based milk. Pumpkin Spice Mix – Make it at home using my easy homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice recipe, or buy a bottle. Vanilla Extract – Vanilla extract brings out the flavors well. Honey – Adjust the sweetener as per your taste. I used honey in this pumpkin pie smoothie recipe but you can use brown sugar, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
How To Make Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

¼ cup pumpkin puree 1 large banana (peeled, sliced, and frozen) 1 cup chilled Greek yogurt ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 2 teaspoon honey ¼ cup chilled whole milk
to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add some more milk if the smoothie is too thick for your liking. Check for the sweetness and add more sweetener if needed. Pour the smoothie into the serving glass. Sprinkle cinnamon powder and chopped roasted pecans on top. Serve chilled. Add a few ice cubes to each glass for a chilled smoothie.
Pro Tips By Neha
Use a high-speed blender to make the smoothie. We don’t want chunks of fruits coming in your mouth. Add more liquid if the smoothie is too thick. You can add more ingredients and make a new variation. Some of the options are spinach, pineapple, banana, cherry, avocado and mango. Make a green pumpkin smoothie by adding greens like spinach, swiss chard, or kale. Nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, etc can be added to boost healthy fat. Other add-on options are flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed), chia seeds, and hemp seeds. You can add a scoop of protein powder or whey protein to this smoothie if you wish to. If you have forgotten to freeze the banana, add a few crushed ice cubes while blending the smoothie.
Serving Suggestions
This creamy pumpkin pie smoothie makes for a perfect fall breakfast. You can serve it for breakfast or an evening snack any time of the year. Add a scoop of protein powder to make it a great pre or post-workout snack. Top it with a little whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon to make it indulgent.
Storage Suggestions
This delicious pumpkin pie smoothie tastes best when made fresh. But, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or mason jar pie in the refrigerator for up to a day. Shake well before consuming again.
