I created this recipe when I was craving the flavors of pumpkin pie, but didn't want to bake anything.

This pumpkin pie smoothie is one of my new favorite recipes for a snack or even for dessert! It's perfectly thick and resembles the taste of pumpkin pie.

Why you'll love this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie:

  • Thick and creamy - The wonderful texture comes from frozen banana, yogurt and pumpkin puree.
  • No protein powder - This smoothie doesn't contain protein powder, but still contains a good amount of protein from the yogurt and milk. It will keep you full and satisfied!
  • Low in added sugar - The only sweetener we're using in this smoothie is one tablespoon of pure maple syrup.
Ingredients in healthy pumpkin pie smoothie.

Ingredients overview:

  • canned pumpkin puree - Not pumpkin pie mix! Pumpkin pie mix has other ingredients besides pumpkin and it’s sweetened.
  • plain Greek yogurt - I recommend full-fat Greek yogurt for maximum creaminess and healthy fats.
  • frozen banana - ½ frozen banana helps thicken the smoothie and sweeten it naturally.
  • pure maple syrup - Use more if you like your smoothies extra sweet.
  • milk - Use dairy milk or non-dairy milk.
  • pumpkin pie spice - For all those classic warming flavors of pumpkin pie!
  • ice cubes - To help with thickness.

Store-bought pumpkin pie spice vs. homemade:

I typically buy pumpkin pie spice from the store or from Amazon, but you can also make your own.

Combine cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg.

You can even use THIS recipe.

This pumpkin smoothie is not the only recipe you will need pumpkin pie spice for. Use homemade pumpkin pie spice for other pumpkin recipes like…

Recipe pro-tips:

  • If the smoothie seems too thin, add more ice to thicken it. If the smoothie seems too thick, add more milk to thin it out.
  • Make sure the banana is frozen because it helps thicken the smoothie.
  • Add peanut butter or almond butter for extra protein and healthy fats.
  • If you are looking for an awesome blender that won’t break the bank, check out THIS one! It also makes the creamiest and thickest smoothie bowls.

Dietary adaptations:

  • Gluten-free - This smoothie is naturally gluten-free.
  • Vegan + dairy-free - Use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and dairy free milk.

Storage directions:

This smoothie is best enjoyed as soon as you make it. It’s difficult to store the drink because the texture will change. You can store it for a day in the fridge, but it won't be the same.
