One of my favorite fall desserts is pumpkin pie so it was only a matter of time before I turned it into a smoothie, haha!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Pumpkin puree: be sure you grab pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling when you are shopping for this recipe. Pumpkin pie filling has sweeteners and other ingredients added to it. The only ingredient listed on the can should be pumpkin.

Frozen banana: this adds a little natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie. I promise that the banana flavor is not overpowering!

Greek Yogurt: I love adding whole milk, plain Greek Yogurt to all of my smoothies. It’s one of those ingredients I always have in the fridge. Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess to this pumpkin pie smoothie as well as healthy fats and protein.

Maple syrup: to sweeten the smoothie up just a little bit, and add some delicious fall flavor, this recipe calls for a teaspoon of maple syrup. I found the sweetness level to be perfect with just a small amount but if you want your smoothie on the sweeter side you can always add a little more.

Vanilla extract: a little vanilla extract goes a long way to round out the flavor of this smoothie. I think it really drives that delicious pumpkin pie flavor home.

Almond milk: any non-dairy milk will probably work in this recipe but almond milk is my personal favorite. Plain almond milk has a pretty neutral flavor that doesn’t overpower the rest of the ingredients in the smoothie.

Pumpkin pie spice: I mean you cannot have a good pumpkin pie smoothie without plenty of pumpkin pie spice. The combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and other warming spices is what helps to give this smoothie its distinct pumpkin pie flavor. If you do not have any pumpkin pie spice on hand you can make your own!

Almond butter: I’ve made this recipe both with and without the almond butter and there is just something about adding it to the smoothie that really makes it taste JUST like pumpkin pie. If you don’t have any almond butter you can also use cashew or pecan butter. I would steer away from using peanut butter in this recipe as the flavor will completely overpower the rest of the ingredients.

Tips for the Perfect Smoothie Every Single Time

Add the liquid first – add your liquid to the base of the blender first. This helps make it easier for the smoothie to blend.
Start slow – start the blender speed on low and then gradually turn it up before bringing it to full speed.
Use frozen fruit – for this recipe it’s important your banana is frozen to ensure you get that ultra creamy texture.
Ditch the ice – if you typically add ice to your smoothies it may be tempting to add it to this one but trust me you do not need it. Just use a frozen banana instead to keep things cold.
