Pin ItThe Pumpkin Smoothie I’m Making on Repeat This Fall
You know we’re obsessed with all things pumpkin: pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies… and now this dreamy Pumpkin Smoothie has earned a top spot in our fall lineup.
The smoothie is super simple to make and uses pantry and fridge staples like canned pumpkin, banana, Greek yogurt, and a scoop of vanilla protein powder—so there’s nothing fussy or hard to find.
It’s naturally sweetened with a little banana and maple syrup, and the pumpkin pie spice brings all those classic fall vibes in every sip. It’s ultra-creamy thanks to the yogurt and frozen banana, and it’s surprisingly filling with a boost of protein and fiber. If you love pumpkin pie, this smoothie tastes like a healthier, sippable version, but still feels like a treat.
This smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast, a wholesome afternoon snack, or even a light dessert. Make it extra special with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, such a fun treat! Kids love it too, which makes it a win all around. I can’t wait for you to give it a try!
Smoothie Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)
- Milk: I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but oat, soy, or dairy milk all work. Use what you love!
- Pumpkin Purée: Make sure you’re using pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess. Use a ripe one for best flavor.
- Vanilla Protein Powder: Adds a big boost of protein. Use the code TWOPEAS for a discount on Clean Simple Eats protein powder or Just Ingredients protein powder, but you can use your favorite brand. You can also leave it out!
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Thick, creamy, and full of protein, this helps create that smoothie-shop texture.
- Maple Syrup: Just a touch of natural sweetness. You can adjust to taste or skip it if your banana is super ripe.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice & Cinnamon: These spices are what make the smoothie feel cozy.
- Pure Vanilla Extract: A little splash enhances all the other flavors.
- Ice: Helps thicken and chill the smoothie for that milkshake-like consistency.
- Optional toppings: A swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon take this over the top!
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Smoothie
- Freeze your banana for extra creaminess and a thicker smoothie.
- Adjust sweetness based on your preference and the ripeness of your banana.
- Blend in stages if your blender struggles with ice. Start with the liquid and soft ingredients first, then add the ice.
- Add-ins like chia seeds, flaxseed, hemp hearts, or a handful of spinach blend in easily and boost nutrition without changing the flavor.
- Top with crushed graham cracker crumbs or Biscoff cookies for pumpkin pie vibes. You can also dip the graham crackers or cookies into the smoothie for an extra special treat!
