    If you haven’t had enough pumpkin this fall season, then add this healthy pumpkin pie smoothie to your recipes. It’s made with only 8 ingredients and it’s ready in under 5 minutes. It's the perfect fall smoothie and a delicious sweet treat!

    Much like my carrot banana smoothie, this pumpkin smoothie is like having a slice of pumpkin pie in smoothie form. It’s thick with a creamy texture, sweet, and packed with warming spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup, it uses coconut milk to make it creamy and it is made without banana.  

    Smoothies are such a great way to get bonus nutrition into your diet. It’s the perfect fall breakfast or a snack, you can even add protein powder to make it a pumpkin protein smoothie if you want some extra protein. Best of all you can drink it like a smoothie or you can make a pumpkin smoothie bowl out of it and add on some granola or nuts for the toppings!

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    Here are a few reasons you’ll love this vegan pumpkin spice smoothie: 

    • Healthy Ingredients - pumpkin is a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and rich in antioxidants like beta carotene which is a powerful antioxidant that can be converted into vitamin A in the body to help maintain healthy skin.
    • Pumpkin Pie Flavor - this smoothie is naturally sweetened with a little maple syrup and filled with all the flavors of a traditional pumpkin pie like ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg and uses real pumpkin puree. You can enjoy the great taste of pumpkin pie in minutes!
    • Smoothie Bowl - You can make it into a pumpkin smoothie bowl by blending up the ingredients and pouring it into a bowl. Then, add your favorite toppings like granola, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts or any toppings you prefer. 
    • Perfect for meal prep - Place all of the ingredients in a compact blender the night before and place it in the fridge. In the morning place it on the blender and blend for about 20 seconds before heading out the door to work.

    Equipment You’ll Need

    Making a coconut milk pumpkin smoothie couldn’t be any easier. Here’s some equipment you’ll need:

    •  High Speed Blender – this is the blender I used to make this delicious smoothie. You can also use a compact blender to make this recipe.
    • Measuring Equipment - 1/4  teaspoon, 1 tablespoon,  1/4 cup and 1 cup 

    Ingredients You’ll need

    Here is what you need for this vegan pumpkin pie smoothie:

    • Pumpkin Puree - be sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
    • Coconut milk - helps to thicken the smoothie however any plant-based, non-dairy milk will work or regular milk if you prefer. I like my smoothies thick, but if you wish to have a thinner smoothie, simply add more milk. 
    • Rolled oats - gluten free rolled oats are used in this recipe. You can also use quick oats or regular rolled oats
    • Maple syrup -  helps to sweeten this drink and balance the flavors
    • Vanilla extract - helps to enhance the flavors in the smoothie
    • Spices - this smoothie gets its flavoring from a classic pumpkin pie flavor and uses ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and ground nutmeg to add warming flavors.
    • Toppings -  this is optional however some great topping for this smoothie to add could be chopped pecans or walnuts or even some dairy free whipped cream with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice on top.

    How to Make the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

    1. Add the canned pumpkin puree, coconut milk, rolled oats, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice to a high-speed blender.
    2. Blend all of the ingredients together until they are smooth.
    3. Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass. Add your favorite toppings if you like and serve chilled.

    Substitutes and Variations

    • Sweeteners - if the smoothie isn’t quite as sweet as you would like it, feel free to add more maple syrup or toss in 1-2 dates. You could also substitute the maple syrup for honey if you’re not vegan. 
    • Milks - feel free to swap out the coconut milk used for almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk or any plant-based milk you prefer.
    • Oats - gluten free rolled oats are used in this recipe. You can also use quick oats or regular rolled oats. Avoid using steel cut oats since they are more dense and have a strong flavor.
    • Yogurt - depending on the milk you use, the smoothie may not be as thick as you’d like. You could add in plain dairy free yogurt or you can also use a vanilla flavor yogurt or regular dairy yogurt if you prefer.

    Pumpkin Smoothie Add-ins

    The add-in options are endless for making this healthy pumpkin smoothie recipe. Adding in a boost of nutrients will take your smoothie to the next level. Here are some options:

    • Protein Powder - if you're making this pumpkin smoothie for weight loss, adding protein powder to this carrot cake protein shake will help boost your daily protein intake. I suggest using a vanilla or unflavored protein powder. 
    • Chia Seeds - These tiny powerful seeds are also an excellent source of fiber, protein, B12, iron, and more!
    • Ground hemp seeds - rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are known for improving heart health by reducing cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglycerides.
    • Ground flax seeds - one serving provides a good amount of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids
    • Wheat germ - good source of magnesium, zinc, thiamin, folate, potassium, and phosphorus.
    • Collagen powder - Collagen powders contain amino acids, which are needed for everyday functions. I suggest using a vanilla or unflavored collagen powder.

    Recipe FAQ

    Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?

    Honey is a great substitute to use instead of maple syrup. Just note that using honey will no longer make this smoothie vegan..

    What can I use to thicken a smoothie?

    If you’re looking for a thicker consistency, after coring and peeling your apples, place them in the freezer before using them. It may be tempting to add ice cubes to this smoothie, but it will only water it down. Stick to using cold ingredients for extra thickness.

    How much oats should I put in my protein smoothie?

    The amount of oats can vary depending on the smoothie ingredients, the thickness you prefer or your carbs and calorie goals. A general rule of thumb is to start with ¼ cup of rolled oats. You can always add more.

    What if I don’t have any pumpkin pie spice?

    You can easily make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice if you don’t have any on hand or simply add in a little more ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg.
