It’s pumpkin season! Or at least it is at my house because… I bought a full CASE of pumpkin purée the other day (all the stores were sold out!). If you’re anything like me you’re ready for fall. But… it’s not that cold yet. So, to ease into the season, I have three words for you: pumpkin pie smoothie.
This pumpkin pie smoothie recipe is healthy and satisfying, full of fall flavors. Made with just a few simple ingredients and naturally sweetened, this is the ultimate summer-meets-fall 5-minute breakfast.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Ingredients
This pumpkin pie smoothie is made with real, simple ingredients, all of which are part of the Loveleaf Co. capsule pantry so you know they’re easy to find.
Pumpkin Purée – Not pumpkin pie mix ;). You’re looking for the pure stuff here with just one ingredient. I usually get mine from Trader Joe’s (see all my fall favorites here!), but I also like this brand.
Chia Seeds – I love adding chia seeds to the smoothie because they make the smoothie thick and creamy while adding extra fiber (to keep you full!) and omega-3s. You could also use flaxseeds or flaxseed meal instead.
Almond Butter – Almond butter adds a serving of healthy fat, which slows the release of sugar from the banana and the date so you’ll have even energy all morning. Cashew butter or pecan butter also work well in this recipe.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – I’m aggressive with my pumpkin pie spice, sometimes even adding more than a teaspoon because I like the smoothie to taste… like pie ;). I get mine at Trader Joe’s and I also like this brand.
Protein Powder (Optional) – For an extra protein boost, you can add a serving of protein powder to this pumpkin pie smoothie. I like Vital Proteins collagen because it doesn’t affect the taste, but if you opt for a protein powder that’s sweetened, you’ll want to omit the date.
What You Need to Make This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
The beauty of smoothies – all you need is a blender! And because drinks are more fun to drink out of straw, these are the stainless steel straws I use.

What do you think about freezing pumpkin puree in ice cube jars and using that instead of banana? maybe adding an extra date or two for sweetness?
Ally says
That could work! The frozen banana adds a creamy texture that I’m not positive the frozen pumpkin would provide, but worth a try! Let me know the results 😉
