Try my pumpkin spice smoothie!
When I’m craving something sweet in the fall, I make this pumpkin smoothie recipe. It’s quick, filling, and a good way to use up extra pumpkin pie mix sitting in the fridge.
I blend it with frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, and a little protein powder to keep me full. It tastes like a pumpkin pie in smoothie form, it turns out thick and creamy, and you can drink it for breakfast without thinking twice.
Happy Cooking!

Pumpkin Smoothie Ingredients
- Pumpkin puree: I recommend canned or homemade pure pumpkin puree. You can use pumpkin pie filling, but note that it has added sugars and spices, so adjust the taste accordingly.
- Pumpkin pie spice: I like to use my homemade pumpkin pie spice.
- Milk: I use almond milk, but oat, coconut, soy, or any plant-based milk works. If you’re not vegan, you can use dairy milk.
- Bananas: I recommend frozen, over-ripe bananas. If you only have fresh, you’ll need to add some ice cubes to the blender.
- Greek yogurt: I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt, but you can use low-fat or non-fat.
- Protein powder: I add vanilla protein powder for an extra boost. Read my protein powder guide for beginners for more info.

Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 frozen bananas
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend for 60–120 seconds until you get a smooth and creamy texture.
- Taste the smoothie. Add more milk if it's too thick, or add more sweetener if it’s not sweet enough. Pour into two cups or mason jars and enjoy.
Notes
- My Top Tip: Use a high-speed blender. I make my smoothies in my Vitamix and press the “Smoothie” button. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, blend for a little longer and scrape down the sides as needed to get rid of lumps.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight mason jar. The smoothie tastes best when it’s fresh, but it will keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Recipe Variations
- Give it a chai flavor. Add brewed chai tea or chai spice for a warm twist.
- Or, give it a mocha flavor. Add a shot of cooled espresso or a spoonful of cocoa powder for a mocha pumpkin smoothie.
- Make it a dessert. For a pumpkin pie smoothie, blend in graham cracker crumbs or oats, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream on top.
Recipe Tips
- Add even more pumpkin flavor. Add a dash or two of pumpkin pie spice to your smoothie.
- Load your blender in order. Start with the milk, then add the protein powder, pumpkin puree, and Greek yogurt. Add the bananas last, especially if they’re frozen, to weigh down the rest of the ingredients for better blending.

Comments
I used organic nonfat Greek yogurt sweetened with a few drops of vanilla crรจme stevia, one cup of Califa unsweetened almond milk, and I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Whoa! It was so delicious & satisfying! Thank you! Keep โem coming!
That sounds perfect. Glad you enjoyed! You got it!
This is a staple for me-simple and healthy and yummy! And easily made with ingredients on hand.
That’s amazing! I love that!
What could you use to substitute the yoghurt to make it dairy free? I’d love to try this but am trying to stay away from dairy.
You can skip the yogurt, use almond milk yogurt (love the Kite Hill one!) or use a touch more milk
